ULTIMATE M&Ms COOKIES: Retro Ad with Recipe

My sister made M&M chocolate chip cookies yesterday, and she thought they were too sweet. She didn't use my recipe. So I sent her a copy of this one for Red's Ultimate M&M's Cookies. M&Ms are great in cookies--colorful, tasty and added crunch.

M&M's originated in the United States in 1941, and are now sold in as many as 100 countries. They are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years. The candy-coated chocolate concept was inspired by a method used to allow soldiers to carry chocolate without having it melt.

Red's Ultimate M&M's Cookies

Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 12-ounce package M&M’S MINIS (or regular if that's all you have)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy
Beat in egg and vanilla.
In medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt; blend into butter/sugar mixture.
Stir in M&M’S® MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies, if desired.
Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and centers are still soft. Do not overbake. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks.
Store in tightly covered container.

MAKES ABOUT 50 COOKIES.
