Chocolate Chip M&M Candies Cookies Recipe

Last weekend my great-granddaughter spent the weekend with me and wanted to bake some cookies. After pondering her choices for a few minutes she decided to bake Chocolate Chip Cookies with M&M candies thrown in for good measure. If you like a sweet, chocolate flavored cookie, you’ll love these!

These cookies freeze well. Let them cool completely. Pack into freezer storage bags or plastic freezer containers. Label and freeze for up to 4 months. Thaw at room temperature. I personally like mine microwaved on the high setting for 7-10 seconds and slightly warm when eating them.

Chocolate Chip M&M Candies Cookies Recipe

1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup of M&M chocolate coated candies

Mix all ingredients together in the order that they are given in the recipe. Drop by the teaspoonful onto a lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes or until done. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool. Once done, store them in an airtight container.
