These bite-size cookies have a light and delicate texture, and are one of the first cookies I ever learned to make. I use the lower sugar amounts and that is sweet enough for me, but I have included the original amounts also in case you like your cookies more traditionally sweet. If you want to skip the whole wheat flour, increase the white flour to 1 1/2 cups.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar (or up to 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup brown sugar (or up to 1/2 cup)
5 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup m&m's plain chocolate candy
cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Cream sugars, butter, and shortening together.
4. Add in vanilla and egg; beat well.
5. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over mixture, and add in flours; mix well.
6. Stir in M&Ms.
7. Measure dough by the teaspoon onto the cookie sheets. These do not spread very much, so you can put them fairly close together.
8. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until they just start to brown.
9. Remove from oven; allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a minute before removing them to cook completely on wire racks.
