Smashed Almond M&M Cookies




Source of Recipe


Unknown


List of Ingredients




½ cup butter (8 Tablespoons)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon water
1 egg
1 cup sifted flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 and ¼ cups rolled oats
one bag (11 ounces) almond M&Ms

Recipe



Prepare the M&Ms as follows. Place the M&Ms between a folded layer of waxed paper on top of a cookie sheet. With a clean hammer, lightly smash each M&M; it is helpful to surround the target with your other hand to contain the fragments. A couple of light taps should reduce the target to pieces slightly smaller than a chocolate chip. Repeat this process until all M&Ms have been smashed.

Sift the smashed M&Ms to separate the chunks from the ‘sand’. This is an important step, as including the sand in the cookie dough would make the baked cookies too crumbly. Instead, the sand will be used as a topping.

Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat in egg and water. Add flour, soda, and salt; blend until smooth. Stir in oats and crushed M&Ms.

Drop spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375° for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle on M&M sand. Return to oven to another 5-7 minutes. Makes two and a half dozen.
