As a Nestle employee, I'd encourage non-Americans to use Smarties.:-) We also make red and green ones for the holiday season. (American 'Smarties' are a completely different creature... pressed sugar candy. Don't use them!)
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups m&m's (use red and green for christmas)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
1. Mix flour, baking powder and baking soda.
2. Layer ingredients in order given in 1-quart wide-mouth canning jar. Press each layer firmly in place before adding next ingredient.
3. Attach this to the Jar M&M's Cookies:
4. Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookie.
5. Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly blend mix.
6. Add: 1/2 cup butter or margarine, not diet, very soft; 1 egg, slightly beaten; and 1 tsp. vanilla (optional). Mix until completely blended. You will need to finish mixing with your hands.
7. Shape into balls the size of walnuts. Place 2 inches apart on sprayed baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
