M&M Party Cookies

it's been so long I forgot my password....but have no fear, I'm back! And since we are now in the Christmas season, we are going to have a week of Grandma's cookies...here's the first one. I'm making for today's Schwager party!

Party Cookies (M&M)

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 cup shortening (not oleo) Crisco or spry
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
2 ¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup M&M candy

Cream sugar, shortening, eggs & vanilla. Blend flour, soda, salt add to creamed mixture. Stir in ½ cup of M&M candies. Reserve rest for decorating. Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet and decorate the tops with rest of M&Ms. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, 5 to 6 dozen.

Wow Shortening. You can use margarine or butter, the cookies just come out flatter and crispier....not sure which one I'll use today...
