When friends hand you leftover Halloween candy, you make cookies!

We wound up giving out our Halloweeen candy this week and had none leftover.. luckily, friends and work hand soem leftover, so I swiped the m&ms and made cookies with them on a football friday. They are very flat and very soft. I am not happy they came out that way, but my work friends seem to enjoy them.

A reminder to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also chill the individual doughs for a few hours to avoid too much spreading. And preheat the oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 1/2 cups butter flavor crisco
  • 2 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 4 tbs milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 2 cups m&ms

Directions – in a bowl, cream criaco, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Add eggs. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in m&ms. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes so it cycles to the right amount. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Stagger cookies – a row of 2, a row of one, another row of two, another row of one. Bake 12 to 14 minutes. Cool completely. Mine were quite gushy, so I chilled them in the fridge to firm them up. Store in covered container.
