Mama’s Milk Dunkin M&M Cookies

By srumbel

these have a good crunch to them along with a pure flavor brought about by the vanilla and making them absolutely perfect for dunking in milk. Absolutely perfect. Divine. Sublime. Wonderful. I really, really, really want you to make these and have them with a glass of milk – tonight.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Solid Vegetable Shortening
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups self rising flour*
• 1 1/2 cups M&M’s
• To make your own self rising flour, simply add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt for EACH cup of all purpose flour.

Preparation

Step 1

Cream shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla thoroughly. Gradually add in flour and mix well (or just dump it in all at once like I do). Stir in 1/2 cup M&M’s, reserving rest to decorate the tops with.
Form dough into one inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Decorate tops with additional M&M’s (this is GREAT for kids to help with!) and bake at 375 for ten to twelve minutes or until golden brown.
