M&M cookiesss!

Nesting is fun when you have the time to enjoy it. 

Being at work and wanting to craft all day nearly killed me, I kept coming up with Christmas gifts I wanted to make, or sweets I wanted to bake, but was stuck at my desk for 9 hours.

Then by time I could do anything I'd pass out on the couch.

Not very productive.

But nowwww that I have 8 days til the babe comes, I can nest all I want!!!

So today I bring you some yummy M&M sugar cookies...enjoy!

Ok, the real reason behind my baking adventures was this half devoured bag of M&M's.

I didn't want them still lurking around after the baby was born, tempting me to keep this yucky figure.

So I turned them into a few delicious cookies that me and the hubby can enjoy before I go on my post-baby-body regimen!

 Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1 1/2 cup of sugar

1 1/4 sticks of unsalted butter  (I use margarine and convert to tablespoons)

2 teaspoons of vanilla

2 large eggs

a bunch of M&M's

How to:

First, preheat you oven to 350 degrees.

Then, mix up all the dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Next, cream the butter and sugar together, then add the vanilla and eggs.

Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients slowly, til well combined.

I took my sheet pan and covered it with aluminum foil and sprayed it with baking spray so no cookies stuck.

I took a tablespoon size of the batter for each cookie and made sure I left room for spreading.

Then, I took a bunch of M&M's for each cookie and pressed them into each of them.

The batter is too sticky to roll in the candies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.

Let 'em cool for as long as you can stand it, and then munch away.

OMNOMNOM  YUMMY!
