Bite Me, Michael Weatherly: New Recipe Tuesday: M&M McGoos

I told y'all I hadn't abandoned this blog! For the last three days, I have been craving these cookies like you would not believe, however, one of my New Years Resolutions was that I was going to stick with New Recipe Tuesday to coincide with the new episodes of NCIS, so I held off on making them! And now that Tuesday has finally arrived, my life is complete.

At least until next week.

Also, please take note of the silly name that I've bestowed upon these delicious M&M cookies. Since this is a baking/NCIS/Michael Weatherly blog, I decided that from now on, I'm going to name my baked goods accordingly. Since tonight, McGee is apparently in the spotlight, I thought it was appropriate that he goes first! And now, without further ado...

M&M McGoos

Ingredients:

1 1/8 cups of flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1 stick of butter, softened

1/4 cups of light brown sugar

1/4 cups of granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 cup of M&Ms

Directions:

1.) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line the baking sheets with parchment paper.

2.) In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking soda.

3.) In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and the sugars.

4.) Add in the vanilla and egg and beat well.

5.) Add the flour to the creamed mixture, mixing well.

6.) Stir in the M&Ms.

7.) Bake for 9-12 minutes or until cookies are a golden brown.

Notes: With the left over M&Ms, I also pressed one or two into the top of the cookie. This is an extremely simple recipe to make with a delicious outcome. The recipe indicates that this will make about 24-30 cookies. I managed to make 25.
