M&M cookies

     M&M Cookies from Rachel Cooks

(I love this recipe!  Rachel calls it perfect!  I have made this many times especially when I want a change from my "Mrs. Fields" recipe, it is a favorite in my family too!)
This recipe makes 2 doz., I usually triple it, but the dough will be thick!

Preheat oven to 350 F. degrees
2 c. flour
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 (12 oz) pkg. mini M&M's

1. Mix together flour, cornstarch, salt and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.

2. In the mixer bowl, cream together butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 min.).  With the mixer on low, add in egg and vanilla.  Return mixer to medium speed, and mix until incorporated. Scrape sides of bowl

3.  Now with mixer on low, add dry ingredients in bowl, gradually until dough forms.  Stir in M&M's by hand.  Refrigerate dough for at least 30 min.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.

4.  form into balls about 1 Tbsp.  Bake for 9 to 11 min. or until edges are barely golden.  Remove from oven and let cool a couple min. on sheet then put them on wire rack to finish cooling.  Store in airtight container.
