      Just as described - soft and chewy! These are the best M&M cookies I've tried. I did as other reviewers suggested and lowered the baking temp to 350. I also used butter because I don't keep shortening on hand. Thanks for the great recipe!

      Yummy! Used butter and baked at 350. Cookies were flat since I didn't use shortening so next time I'd add more flour to fix this. Everyone enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

      They aren't even cool yet but so far, couldn't be happier! This is definitely what I was looking for - couldn't even find it on the M&Ms website! Thank you!

      I love this recipe... it's just like my chocolate chip recipe except I use 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. Also, I use about 3 1/4 cups flour... it's just not the right consistency if I don't increase the flour. Everyone loved them.

      I only wish I could duplicate Corner Bakery's M&M cookies... they are unbeatable... copycat recipe anyone?

      I've tasted other M&M cookies, and have never been impressed. These, however, are delicious. Judging from the positive reviews, others think so too. Perhaps it is because they are made with shortening, which I think makes a superior cookie. Followed as directed--thanks for sharing. I liked that it didn't make a zillion cookies--just enough to satisfy a craving. This one will go into our cookie rotation.

      Also followed the recipe to the tee, and they were perfection! Don't tell my mom, but these were even better than her molasses cookies that I've for as long as I can remember said were my most favorite cookie!

      My friend has also made these and thought they were amazing. I've made them for my in laws. With 3 hungry sibling-in-laws and my 2 kids and myself, they didn't last but 30 minutes :)

      Didn't have Crisco as usual, but used margarine; lowered the temp to 350* and used only 1/2tsp salt like suggested. Amazing cookies! With those small changes, easily the best M&M cookie recipe I've used. Will make again and again!

      These were really good! A couple of things though. I used 2 tsp. vanilla extract and also ended up doubling the amount of M&M's. I baked for 8 1/2 min. at 375 and they were perfect!

      Made these for Christmas gift plates, and couldn't have chosen better! I doubled the recipe and used butter not Cisco. I did notice that anything longer than 10min would make them crispy and not soft. So one cookie sheet turned into milk cookies. The rest were perfect and super pretty! Thank you SO much!

      I read a few of the reviews and I don't know how people are saying these aren't soft and chewy. I will use this recipe forever! I agree with the person that suggested cutting back the salt a bit. I made these to bring to Vacation Bible School and I am sure the kids will devour them.

      Made these over the weekend. Came out pretty crunchy - I think I overbaked them or my oven is running hot. The only thing I would suggest is cutting back on the salt to 1/2 tsp - I could clearly taste the salt.

      halved the recipe and used butter instead of Crisco, put in oven for 10 minutes and they were totally browned. pretty tasty - but not the best I ever had. will make again - thanks!

      These cookies are neither soft nor chewy. They are dry and taste like Crisco. Followed recipe to the letter then tried decreasing bake time but that didn't work. Not impressed.

      I made these for a Hallowe'en party (using only fall colours, of course) and they were generally well-received. I substituted unsalted butter for the shortening and cut back the white sugar a little. I followed the directions and added 1/2 c. of candy (plus a couple on top), but it wasn't enough, so next time I'll try 3/4 c. Thanks for sharing!
