Mama’s Milk Dunkin M&M Cookies

1 cup Solid Vegetable Shortening

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup Sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 eggs

2  1/2 cups self rising flour*

1  1/2 cups M&M’s

Cream shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla thoroughly. Gradually add in flour and mix well (or just dump it in all at once like I do). Stir in 1/2 cup M&M’s, reserving rest to decorate the tops with.

Form dough into one inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Decorate tops with additional M&M’s (this is GREAT for kids to help with!) and bake at 375 for ten to twelve minutes or until golden brown.

Makes about five dozen.
