M & M's Cookies
Preheat oven to 375�. In a large mixing bowl combine 1/2 softened butter + 1 lightly beaten egg + 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until well blended. Add the cookie mix and stir to mix all the ingredients together. Spray two cookie sheets lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Drop the cookie batter by rounded spoonfuls, 2" apart, onto the sprayed cookie sheets. Bake at 375� for about 12minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
