Amazing & Easy M&M Cookies!!!

Since we forgot eggs, the recipe wasn't in order, I didn't record, etc.....

SO- as requested here is the recipe for my M&M Cookies:

2 Sticks of Softened Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup White Sugar

Cream together above
Add the following:

2 Eggs
1.5 t Vanilla

Cream all five ingredients together
Mix and then add the following:

2.5 Cups Flour
1 t Baking Soda
1 t Salt

Once everything is mixed add as many M&M's as you would like!  I add about 2 Cups (-;

Bake at 350* until they're as done as you would like (about 10 minutes)

Hope you enjoy!

Fish and whatever other veggies are left

Hope you have a fantastic week & keep cool!!  (-:
