Remember the Valentine's dance at the high school I had to chaperone? The dance was actually a fund raiser for the high school girl's soccer team to help pay off their debt when they were travelling for the state play-offs. Not only were parent chaperone's needed, baked goods were needed. My oldest daughter loves anything with M & M's so I decided to try my hand at making M & M cookies. I got this recipe from their website.
1 cup butter or shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups M&M's
Heat oven to 375. Beat brown sugar and granulated sugar, butter (or shortening) until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Stir in 1 3/4 cups M&M's. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press several additional M&M's into each cookie. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown.
I was totally surprised while surfing to find My Finds Online had me listed as one of their top 25. Thank you so much Amanda, I am honored to be listed with so many blogs that inspire me.

So, now you have a great base cookie recipe that you can add almost anything to--chopped nuts, chopped chocolate, Reese's pieces, dried fruit. It's like Transformer Dough; excellent!
Oh, I love the M & M's and the cookies all rolled into one handy snack.

Congrats on the award, you deserve it, everything you make looks delish! I am inspired now I have some M&M's!
You are always at the top of my list :) Congrats! You deserve it.
I love M&M's too. I bought a 3 1/2 lb. bag of red and green ones after Christmas for less than $4.00. I was excited about that but still haven't used them for anything. No time like the present. Shelby's home from school today with the flu. This is the 4th day and other than the fever she isn't feeling to bad right now. She loves baking cookies.
congratulations! you certainly deserve it! all of your recipes are amazing.
Wow you really do deserve that award because you post recipes like this one. I need to bake.

Well, I'd put you in the top 25!
I only eat the green M&Ms, unless they're peanut or almond, in which case I might snag other colors. Your cookies are really pretty.
These cookies look perfect -- no matter how old I get, I still get weak for M&M cookies. And congrats on your award! It is so incredibly well deserved!

Congrats on the award! You are in the top list of my favorite blogs, so it sure doesn't surprise me.
Your cookies looks yummy and kid-licious. But I'll have a slice of the key lime pie. I'm a fruit girl when it comes to dessert and citrus is my favorite.
Congratulations!
I think these are my husband's all time favorite cookies.

M&M's are a total favorite around here. It is the only way I keep my sanity intact on a trip to Target with my sous chefs!
Oh, yum! Will have to make these for hubby with some of our clearance V-Day M&Ms (which were green, btw... why green for V-day?).
I love M&M cookies!
