this recipe i have had since i did a cooking class in high school. since then - 12 years ago - i have made this recipe maybe 2 times, and it's because i NEVER keep a bag of m&m's around long enough to make a whole batch of cookies with them. and then we found old halloween candy on clearance when buying stocking stuffer candy..........so yeah, i have about a gallon and a half of the stuff in my pantry now.
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter or shortening
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate candies of your choice
preheat oven to 350. cream the butter and sugars until, well, smooth and creamy. add vanilla and eggs. mix well. add flour, powder and salt. mix until nice dough forms. it should start clearing away from the sides of the bowl. throw in those candies.
scoop out onto a cookie by the tablespoon full or however big you want the cookies to be and cook them for about 10 minutes.
this time the cookies didn't spread hardly at all so if you want you can squish them down some with a cup or use a little less flour so they spread more while baking. i made this two days ago, and with my cookie scoop i made over 4 dozen cookies, but they were small.
