Once upon a time I had an M&M cookie from Safeway. And since then, I've been on a quest to duplicate it. Not a very serious quest. More of a careless jaunt through the forest quest. Last week I worked out a recipe I like. Except, its been a few years since I last had a Safeway M&M cookie, so by now I have no idea how this compares. Either way, I do like these cookies...
Cream:
1 c. white sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. unsalted butter
Add:
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Then blend in:
2 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Reserve:
1/2 c. M&Ms
Stir in:
1 c. M&Ms
Drop your dough onto a cookie sheet and push a few of the reserved M&Ms on top of the cookie to make it look pretty. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
2 thoughts anyone?:
I thought the reserved M&M's were going to be to eat while waiting for the first pan of cookies to bake...silly me!
Now I'm going to have to scavenge up all the M&Ms I can from the toybox, couch and back of the cupboard in the Halloween sack in order to try this recipe. We already went to town this week, so this is the only way....*sigh*
YAY COOKIES!!!
I love those cookies from Safeway too! I will have to try your recipe. Thanks!
