Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2¼ cup flour (It’s very important to measure the flour correctly. Too much or too little flour can change the consistency of the cookie.)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda (Make sure your baking soda is no more than 3 months old -using old baking soda will make the cookies flat.)
1 cup Crisco
½ cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1 bag M&Ms (⅔ will be combined in the batter; set aside the remaining ⅓ to place on top of cookies as soon as they come out the oven)

This is another recipe given to me by Kim. I've baked many, many dozen of this cookie in many M&M color combinations. Over the years, I often found myself in Lammes Candies buying the perfect color combination for which ever themed birthday party or soccer team event required these awesome cookies. I always referred to these as my "no fail" cookie recipe, as I never had a batch not turn out great. Laurie tried the recipe and assured me that this recipe could indeed fail. LOL! Must have been old baking soda. : )
