      Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies

      Chocolate Chip Cookies

      Almost every family gathering on my husband’s side of the family has to include chocolate chip cookies! This recipe is an adaption of the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe his grandmother has made for years. It’s amazing how not only the flavor but also the texture can slightly change with a small adjustment of ingredients and adding in some M&Ms. These chocolate chip M&M cookies are now a favorite of my boys to keep in the freezer for dessert or a quick snack.

      Preparation

      It’s important to gather all of your ingredients first.

      To make your dough, start with combining your vegetable shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and hot water. Combine all of these ingredients to a cream base for your cookie dough, make sure this is mixed well. I find it is easiest to make this recipe with a stand mixer since it is so large, but you can use a hand mixer or mix it by hand as well.

      Continue to make your dough by adding in the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix well. Once the dough is well mixed add in your chocolate chips. You can then either add in your M&Ms to your cookie dough or plan to place them on top of your cookie dough balls later on.

      Refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 1 hour to make it easier to scoop and bake. This will also help your cookies bake more evenly.

      Baking

      Preheat your oven to 350°.

      Once your cookies have cooled for at least an hour in the refrigerator, use a cookie scoop to make even sized dough balls. Place your dough balls approx 2″ apart on your cookie sheet or stone. If you did not put your M&M into your dough, place them on top of your cookies now. I did 3-4 M&Ms on top of each cookie.

      Then bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes. Your cookies should be golden brown when they are fully baked.

      Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet or stone for approximately 5 minutes prior to moving them to a cooling rack to cool competently. Once your chocolate chip M&M cookies are cooled completely store them in an air tight container.

      This recipe makes approximately 6 dozen cookies. If you are not going to eat these cookies with in 5-7 days I would suggest you freeze them for future use.

      Any Occasion Snickerdoodle Cookies

      Baking in my family has always been a sign of love. As I look back on many of my childhood memories revolve around being in the kitchen baking or enjoying baked goods. These any occasion snickerdoodle cookies were a go to recipe at Christmas around our house. This last week my son’s school had a fundraiser and needed cookies. I enjoyed making multiple different kinds of cookies including some red and gold snickerdoodles and oatmeal chocolate chip butterscotch cookies!

      Preparation

      As you begin making these cookies start with gathering all of your ingredients and preheating your oven to 350°.

      Then continue with combining the softened butter, vegetable shortening, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix the above ingredients until you have a good cream base for your cookie dough. The cream base should be well mixed and a light yellow color from the egg yokes.

      Then slowly add in The flour, cream of tarter, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix together until dough is mixed well. You will notice your dough is now a light tan color with brown flecks of cinnamon noted in it.

      Then place your dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour to cool. After the dough has cooled, use a cookie scoop to scoop even round balls into your colored granulated sugar. Completely cover your cookie dough balls in colored sugar by rolling them in the colored sugar. Then place on the cookie pan approximately 2″ apart to allow for expansion. Continue this process of covering your cookies in colored sugar until your pans are full.

      Baking Your Any Occasion Snickerdoodle Cookies

      Bake your cookies at 350° for 10-12 minutes until the cookies appear cracked on top and no gooey dough is seen in the cracks. They should not appear golden brown except for the very edges, stop cooking before the cookies turn golden brown. If you have a golden brown color to your cookies will be crispy instead of chewy.

      After baking move your cookies let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for approx 5 minutes prior to moving them to a cooling rack. Store the cookies in an air tight container. If you are going to store these for more than 1 week keep them in the refrigerator or freezer.

      This recipe will make approximately 4 dozen cookies. If you are needing more cookies, this recipe can be doubled easily.
