Notes
-
- I prefer butter flavored Crisco, but regular works too. Make life easier with these Crisco sticks, no measuring required.
- The total amount of flour used is 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons!
- There's no need to sift the dry ingredients unless you really want to.
- Change up your cookies for the holidays. I love using different colored candies for Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc.
- A small cookie scoop makes the perfect size cookie.
- This makes a smaller batch of cookies, so go ahead and double it, if desired.
- Love M&Ms? Try this M&M cookie with oatmeal!
