Here’s an easy cookie recipe that is as tasty as it is colorful.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/8 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup M&M’s candy
Cream shortening and sugars together. Add vanilla extract and egg, beat well. Sift flour, salt and baking soda together then add to egg mixture. Mix well. Stir in 1/4 cup of M&M’s, then drop mixture from a spoon onto ungreased baking sheet. Decorate with the remaining M&M’s, then bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 3 dozen cookies.
