I'm back with another recipe from one if my favourite recipe books, M&Ms Fun Stuff Cookbook.
Since Easter is just around the corner on April 1st, I thought this recipe would be rather fitting. These cookies are so delicious and easy to make.
Ingredients
2 cups (4 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups allpurpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 3/4 cups M&M divided
Decorating Icing
Directions
(Yields about 2 1/2 dozen cookies)
Preheat oven to 375°F
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until ligjt and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt slowly blend into creamed mixture.
Stir in pecans and 1 1/4 cups M&Ms.
Drop 1/4 cupfuls of batter about 4 inches apart onto lightly greased cookie sheets; flatten each into egg shape about 4x2 1/2 inches
Bake 11 - 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate with icing and remaining M&Ms.
Store in tightly covered container.
Note: I did not use pecans when I made the cookies, and I added more M&Ms to make up for the missing pecans, which turned out great!
