#2115 - M and M Shortbread Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 cup softened butter (NO substitutes)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup M&M's candies (plus extra for pressing)

In a mixer add butter, white sugar and vanilla--beat. Add flour and cornstarch--beat. Remove bowl from mixer--add M&M's--stir with a wooden spoon. Form the batter into 1" balls and place them on greased cookie sheets. Place an extra M&M or two on any balls that don't look like they have M&M's in them. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass in a little white sugar, then press the bottom of the glass on each ball to flatten it. Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until bottoms start to brown. Cool cookies 5 minutes before removing them from cookie sheets.
