I wanted to make m&m sugar cookies and frost them.   All well and good, but i did not realize I was out of granulated sugar.   That has NEVER happened to me.  Not sure how I let that happen.   So I just subbed in brown sugar entirely for the granulated sugar.  And, I went and bought 2 huge bags of granulated sugar for future baking.

So I am only bringing in half of these tomorrow, with vanilla frosting.  The other half I will bake in a few days and frost them with chocolate frosting.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount (same goes for the powdered sugar).  chill your individual doughs and form them even taller before baking to keep them puffy. And preheat your oven before baking

• Ingredients list
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 powdered sugar
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 5 tbs water
• 2 tbs vanilla
• 5 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup m&ms

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, oil, sugar and powdered sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla and water.  Blend in dry ingredients.   (It was a little humid the day i made these, so I added an extra cup of flour.  Your call if you want to do that).  Blend in m&ms.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet, form mounds a little taller.  Bake 11 to 14 minutes.  Bottoms with be lightly golden, tops might be a little gushy, but will be fine.   Cool completely.
