Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cream together sugar, brown sugar, butter, and oil. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.

  4. Mix in chopped M&Ms {however many you want}.
  5. Place dough balls on a greased pan and insert a few M&Ms on top. Bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes.

Notes

  • Store cookie dough. Cover and store the dough in the fridge for 1-2 days before baking. For longer storage:Log shape. Form into a log shape, wrap it with plastic wrap and again with foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before shaping and baking.
  • Dough ball. Form the cookie dough balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze for a couple of hours or until the dough is solid then transfer them to a freezer-safe Ziploc. 
  • When freezing cookie dough, save the M&M's (for the tops) to add just before baking.
  • STORE cooled 4th of July M&M cookies in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Tossing a piece of white bread into the container will help them stay soft and chewy.
  • FREEZE baked cookies for up to 5 months.
