Ingredients

• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup M&Ms
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• Two 12-inch pizza pans (I used disposable aluminum pizza pans)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease two pizza pans and set aside.

Cream together the shortening, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla.


In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the shortening mixture and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.


Divide dough in half; press each half evenly into pizza pans.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges and the center tests done with a toothpick.


Cool completely in pans, then slice into thin wedges or break apart to serve. Enjoy!
