Magical Moms' M&M Cookies

I can think of a lot of things that M&M could stand for.... Mickey Mouse, Magical Moms, and Making Memories with Mommy's Monsters.  My little guys both LOVE M&M's (and well so do I) so these cookies are always a hit at our house.  Nathan's favorite part is mixing in (and stealing) the M&M's.  I love to bake up a special treat with my kiddos.                                              
Ingredients: (makes 30-36 cookies)

• 2 Cups of Flour
• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 3/4 Cup Butter Flavored Crisco (or Butter)- at room temperature
• 1 Cup Mini M&M's

Preheat oven to 325.  In medium bowl, sift together Flour, Salt and Baking Soda.  Then in large bowl cream together sugar, brown sugar, and Crisco using a mixer.  To that mixture add the vanilla, egg, and egg, yolk.   

Slowly add in flour mixture while keeping mixer on low.  Last, Stir in M&Ms.  

Form into balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes at 325 degrees.

ENJOY!
