I do believe it's time to start making some Christmas cookies! I've been seeing some absolutely delicious ones come across the blogs. Here is one that I made today, with my son who was home from daycare sick. I found this recipe here.
These would also be delicious with both white chocolate and dark chocolate chunks in them in place of the M&M's! I did read a tip that had honestly never even occured to me before - when you're making drop cookies with chips, M&M's, or any kind of filler in them - save a littel and press it into the tops of the cookies. They're just prettier!
1 1/4 c. butter or light butter spread
2 c. flour
1 c. light brown sugar, packed
3/4 c. white sugar
3/4 c. cocoa
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 (9.5 oz) bag Mint M&M's, or about 1 1/2 cups
cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy
beat in eggs one at a time
add vanilla
add cocoa, salt and baking soda until well blended
beat in flour
fold in candies
chill dough for one hour up to overnight
drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet
bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes - cookies will be puffed up, but centers will appear slightly under-baked
allow to cool on sheet for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks for further cooling
