    I had a bunch of M&Ms left from when I made Leprechaun Hugs a little while back, so I decided to look up a recipe for M&M cookies. These were wonderful! They're best straight out of the oven, so I recommend gently reheating them either in the oven or super quickly in the microwave when you go to enjoy the leftovers. This makes a lot of cookies, which was perfect, because I sent some in to work with Dino, and saved a bunch for some friends that were coming over for dinner on Friday.

    "Cookies using M&M candies, any variety. Old recipe-but ALWAYS a favorite!!"

    Original recipe makes 5 - 6 dozen

    1 cup packed brown sugar
    ½ cup white sugar
    1 cup shortening
    2 eggs
    1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 ½ cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces

    In a large bowl, mix sugar, eggs, shortening, and vanilla thoroughly. Add flour, salt, and baking soda to creamed mixture. Blend well. Add ¾ cup of M&M candies.

    Drop dough by teaspoonful onto cookie sheet. Slightly push a few candies on top of each dough ball with remaining candies.

    Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 9 to 11 minutes, to your liking.
