Smashed Almond M&M Cookies

Unknown


List of Ingredients




� cup butter (8 Tablespoons)
� cup granulated sugar
� cup brown sugar
� teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon water
1 egg
1 cup sifted flour
� teaspoon baking soda
� teaspoon salt
1 and � 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.
