This recipe did not turn out well for me. I did not see where it specifically called for a wide mouth mason jar. So PLEASE, before trying this one, make sure you purchase WIDE MOUTH mason jars!! In order to save to recipe the best I could, I had to ask them to add more flour when mixing. Not the end of the world, but not great for the Christmas present either. So here goes!
1 1/4 C white sugar
1 1/4 C M&Ms
2 C all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Mix together flour, baking soda, and baking powder
Add ingredients to jar in the order listed (sugar, M&Ms, and flour mixture last). Make sure you pack everything down in the jar as tightly as you can. I used my rolling pin to do this.
Attach the directions reading:
M&M Cookies
1. Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl.
2. Use your hands to thoroughly blend mix.
3. Add 1/2 C margarine or butter softened at room temperature.
4. Mix in 1 eggs, slightly beaten, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
5. Mix until completely blended. You will need to finish mixing with your hands.
6. Shape into balls the size of walnuts and place on parchment lined cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are slightly browned.
8. Cool on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes then remove to wire racks to finish cooling. Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
This one does not look pretty due to my lack of reading specific instructions. Hope yours looks better than mine!
