Frosty's colorful cookies

These cookies are a "vanilla" version of my chocolate m&ms cookies I usually make but I wanted to try something new.  This was in the christmas cookie book like the cocoa kiss cookies and the stained glass cookies.  Start out by mixing 1 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 3/4 cup of shortening, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 tablespoon of vanilla.  Add one egg and mix well again.  In a separate bowl mix together 1 3/4 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda.  After mixed add to the first mixture.  Then add two cups of m&ms to the batch.  Since it was christmas time I used the red and green ones.  The good thing about the m&ms is that there are so many different colors and types for different occasion to use.  When the candies are mixed well drop by tablespoons on to an ungreased baking sheets.
 
Bake at a temperature of 375 for about 8 to 10 for chewy.  You can leave it in for a few minutes longer for crispy cookies.



These were awesome!!! Next time I make the chocolate version I will put that recipe up.
