Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.
I recommend chilling the dough for a few hours before baking to help keep the cookies thick. And, preheat your oven before baking so the oven cycles to the right temp and you get the perfect cookie.

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.

I was a little short on time tonight, so I made mini M&M chocolate chip cookies, using crisco and butter crisco. By using crisco instead of butter, I did not need to chill the dough to keep them puffy.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking.
Ingredients
1/2 cup crisco
1/2 cup butter crisco
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tbs water
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mini m&ms
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream crisco, butter crisco, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, water and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Mix in chips and m&ms. Scoop out 3 tbs of dough and form tall cylinders. Stagger on prepared cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 11 minutes. Bottoms will be golden. Cookies will be a little undone on top, but will firm up as they cool. Store in covered container.
Thanks for stopping by! Remember to be kind because everyone is fighting some sort of battle. Go Bills!
Our new ESPN Radio lineup debuts tomorrow, and I wanted to bring in something fabulous (or semi-famulous), so I went with m&m chocolate cookies stuffed with oreos.
Do they need to be stuffed? No. But I have a ton of oroes and feel stuffing them in treats is always a wise choice. Plus, who doesn’t love m&ms?
A few notes – remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also chill the stuffed cookies a few hours to prevent spreading. And, preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking so it cycles to the right temp.
Ingredients list
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 yolk
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tbs cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup mini m&ms
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Oreos
Directions -cream butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add egg and yolk. Blend in dry ingredients. Fold in chips and m&ms. Scoop out 2 tbs dough and divide in half. Slightly flatten one half
Top with an Oreo
Flatten other half of dough and place on top.
Seal edges so oreo is completely covered.
Chill dough a few hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. Scatter cookies on sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, you will see a few golden patches on top. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Store in covered container.
