Description

This M&M cookie recipe makes soft, chewy cookies with crisp edges packed with chocolate candies that melt in your mouth. And no chill time needed!

• 1 cup shortening

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 1/2 cup white sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 1/2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 Beat shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.

3 Add flour, baking soda, and salt; blend well. Stir in 1/2 of the chocolate candies.

4 Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Use remaining candies to decorate dough balls; press down slightly.
