Chewy M&M Cookies
Ingredients
2/3 cup (150 mL) butter, room temperature
2 cups (500 mL) brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp (10 mL) boiling water
2 1/2 cups (650 mL) flour
1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1 cup (250 mL) M&Ms candy
Directions
Cream together butter, brown sugar and eggs. Add boiling water. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to wet ingredients. Gently stir in M&Ms. Use an ice cream scoop to make jumbo cookies, or drop from a tablespoon to make regular size cookies. Bake at 375°F (190°C)—18 minutes for jumbo, or 10-12 minutes for regular-size cookies. Makes 12 to 24 cookies.
