Ingredients

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup shortening
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups M&Ms (I used mini, but any flavor or size will do)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream together both sugars, the shortening , eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch to the butter mixture and blend well. Add in 3/4 cup to 1 cup of the M&M's.
Chill dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Press a few more M&Ms onto the tops of the cookies, if desired.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
