A layered quart jar of sugar, M&M's candies, flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add butter, an egg and vanilla to bake 18 cookies, or give it as a gift.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups M&M's candies
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine softened (added when baking)
  • 1 egg slightly beaten (added when baking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (added when baking)

Directions

  • Add the sugar, M&M's, flour, baking soda, and baking powder to a clean quart jar or vacuum-seal bag, in that order.
  • Close it and attach the baking directions.

Notes

Preheat oven to 350°F; grease a cookie sheet. Blend the softened butter or margarine, egg, and vanilla. Add the entire jar of mix and stir until combined (dough will be thick). Shape into 2-inch balls on the sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until set.
Storage: dry mix up to 6 months airtight in a cool, dry place; cookies about 1 week airtight; dough refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to 3 months.
