EASY PARTY COOKIES OR M&M COOKIES 1 c. shortening 1 c. brown sugar 1/2 c. sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla 2 1/4 c. sifted flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 1/2 c. M&M plain chocolate candies (3/4 lb. pkg.) Cream shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla thoroughly. Sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Add dry ingredients gradually to creamed mixture; mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup of M&M plain chocolate candies. Reserve remaining candies for deco- rating. Drop by teaspoon on ungreased cookie sheet. Decorate tops of cookies with remaining M&M plain chocolate candies. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. After baking, some of the candies may be slightly cracked. This adds texture and interest to your cookies; still the same delightful flavor. Makes about 6 dozen 2 1/2-inch cookies. If you use self rising flour, omit baking soda and salt.
