Janet, a family friend of over 30 years, handed down this recipe to me when she heard I was learning to cook. She said it was simple and easy to make- the perfect start for a beginner!
Although I slightly changed it up by adding M&M’s, I know that the love from the original recipe will surely shine through. (The photo of the recipe is courtesy of her Daughter-in-Law Lindsey!)

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter flavor crisco
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup M&Ms
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt into a small bowl. Beat crisco, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs beating them well, then gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop golf ball sized dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Press M&Ms into the dough, making sure you can see the candies on the top.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on wire racks or brown paper. Then enjoy!
Notes
- I use brown paper because it absorbs the extra grease!
