M & M Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line one baking sheet
with parchment paper.
Empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl and mix until all the
ingredients are well combined.
Using your hands work in 3/4 cup softened butter or margarine until
the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Work this into the flour
mixture until well combined. Dough will be a little crumbly.
Shape dough into 1 inch sized balls and place 2 inches apart
on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten the balls with the palm
of your hand. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 14 minutes
or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove cookies to a rack to cool.
