Week 8 - M&M Cookies

Friday was amazing :). Mr. VIP and I took my nephew to the Museum of Nature to see the Dinosaurs. He loved it, as soon as he walked in and saw them he said “Rawr!!!”. He had a blast running around the museum, after stopping for lunch we took him to the pet store and the fish store. He was just beside himself with all the excitement :). By the end of the day, when we were driving him home, he was passed out in his car seat. Although Dany and I were pretty exhausted too when we finally sat down at his house lol. It was really nice having him for the day though :), he is a great kid to take places, and Dany and I had a lot of fun playing with him.

The tired boy :)

 

 

So this weekend I made M&M cookies, it had been forever since I made these. They were my favourite as a kid, because I love mini M&M’s ;P. I made large cookies, however this recipe does make a lot of “regular” size cookies as well.

 

M&M Cookies

Bake: 350F        Makes: 3 dozen

1 cup butter or margarine

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

⅛ tsp salt

1½ cups mini M&M’s

¾ cups chopped nuts (optional)

 

In a large bowl cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.

 

In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; blend into wet mixture. Stir in M&M’s and nuts until combined. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake 10-13 minutes or until edges are brown, without over baking. Let cool on tray for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't believe it is already November, this year is just flying. Next weekend is already my Casino Night, it feels like we just went. Hopefully everyone is enjoying their November so far, and has started their Christmas shopping ;).

 

 

Happy Baking!
