These were a new Christmas cookie that I made this year. They were super good! I modified the original recipe from using pecans to using M & M’s.
5 tbs butter, softened
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup M & M’s
1/2 cup (6 ounces) chocolate chips
1/4 – 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and salt until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in M & M’s and chocolate chips.
Form dough into tablespoon sized balls and roll into confectioner sugar.
Drop onto a greased or parchment paper covered baking sheet.
Bake 15 – 20 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes and re-roll each cookie in confectioner sugar.
