Getting Back to Basics of Baking

My sister got this m&m cookies from her co-worker. Only instead of a traditional cookie gifts you received on Christmas this one consists of Flour, Baking Soda, salt, sugar and m&m candies. Packed in a Very Cute jar with a piece of paper for baking instructions. It looks so delicious I just can't wait to make it.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup Butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla
• 1 cup m&m candies

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and set aside. Meanwhile, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla into the mixture then add the dry ingredients.  Stir in the m&m candies. Your dough should look a little crumply by now.

Place the dough into a baking sheet with wax paper and start cutting/shaping it with your favorite Cookie Cutter. Here I used cute little man =)

Place the cookies 2 inches a part and bake for 10-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Cool and serve.

Enjoy!
