Cream Shortening and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process creates the base for our delicious cookies.
Incorporate Vanilla and Eggs: Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, ensuring each ingredient is well incorporated into the mixture. This step adds richness and flavor to our cookie dough.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Stir in M&M’S: Gently fold in the M&M’S candies into the cookie dough. The colorful candies will add a burst of flavor and fun to each bite!
Shape and Bake: Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie for spreading during baking.
Bake to Perfection: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking.
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve and Share: Serve these delightful M&M cookies with a glass of cold milk or pack them for a fun-filled picnic or lunchbox treat. They’re perfect for any occasion!
