Welcome!

You may have heard the phrase "Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often". Well in out home it's a little more like "Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often, and EAT!". I'm a stay at home mom and wife and I love to cook and bake! I've finally decided to start a recipe blog of some of my favorite recipes and creations. Mangia!

Holiday M&M Cookies

These cookies are easy to make with the kids. My boys enjoyed adding M&Ms at the end. We used these cookies to add to our holiday cookie boxes for the neighbors!

Ingredients:



  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Cup Butter, Softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 Cups M&M Candies (I used red and green dark chocolate M&Ms for these holiday cookies)












Directions:
  1. In a large bowl cream together sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla extract.
  2. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add 3/4 Cup M&Ms.
  4. Drop cookies by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
  5. Push remaining M&M candies into the top of each cookie (be generous!).
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes.
