M&M Cookies











M&M cookies are very colorful; and very delicious. These original cookies are delicious,  or you can make them even better by making them a chocolate M&M cookie. I am using the M&M mini milk chocolate baking chips.

If you want the recipe for the chocolate M&M cookies, it is on the back of the package. The recipe for the regular kind is:


  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup stick butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
1 package (12 oz.) M&M's


To start out I creamed my brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and butter together.


I then added my a portion of my flour and my baking soda and salt. I mixed it well. Then I added the rest of my flour. Make sure to mix this very slowly!! If you don't you will have flour all over you!



I then folded in the M&M's.



(Note: you may have some M&M's and flour at the bottom of your bowl; don't worry about it!). I then molded the dough into balls and placed them on an un-greased cookie sheet and baked them at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. The time will depend on your stove. so you might have to shorten or lengthen the time. As with all cookies, the center will be soft, but will harden up in 5 minutes or so. You will no when the are done when they are golden brown. And there you are! M&M cookies!

Triple Chip Cookies

Today I made triple chip cookies - white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips. First, preheat your oven to 375 F. The list of ingredients are: 2 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 cup softened butter 3/4 cup white sugar 3/4 cup Brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or whole 11.5 oz. bag) In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a larger bowl cream the butter, the two sugars, and the vanilla extract  together. Add the eggs, the stir the flour mixture in and add the chocolate chips. The dough gets slightly thick, do you may have to use your hands to finish mixing the dough. Form the cookie dough into small to medium sized balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Place onto a cooling rack to set and cool. Let them cool for 5 minutes or so. Then, enjoy! - The Junior Baker

Snickerdoodles

Since Fall is here, I thought I would post a fall themed recipe. So I usually use the recipe I have in my Betty Crocker cookbook, but today I wanted to try something different. I went online and found this recipe from Cookies and Cups, so check out her blog. I think I will probably use the Betty Crocker recipe, so I will tell you more about that at the end of this post. As usual when creaming butter and sugar, you really want to make sure you do it well. I think I creamed mine for at least 3 minutes. More time, such as 5 minutes, would be even better. Once the butter is all creamed together with the sugars, you are going to add your egg and egg yolk one at a  time.   Before we mix the eggs, we are going to add our baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. I didn't include the clip of me adding the baking soda because I didn't want you to get it confused with the cream of tartar, but don't worry, I added it. So once all of that is is ...

Winter Cupcakes

Happy New Year! I made some chocolate cupcakes and used a snowflake topper and winter sprinkles I got at Michaels. I used Duncan Hines chocolate cake mix and used Duncan Hines whipped vanilla icing and whipped chocolate icing.  So first, follow the instructions on the back of the cake box. I added another egg and used milk instead of water to make the cupcakes richer and denser. Bake it in the oven according to the back of the box. I used one box, which typically makes 24 cupcakes. To decorate the cupcakes you will need a can of Duncan Hines whipped chocolate icing, a can of Duncan Hines whipped vanilla icing, 1-2 piping bags, a large star decorating tip, snowflake treat toppers, and Wilton's winter sprinkle mix. You will also need a large circle cake board ( I think I used either a 10 inch or a 12 inch) and a wine glass for the display I used. First, using the large star tip, fill a piping bag with white icing. The reason why I said you ...
