M&M Cookie Mix

• 1 jar M&M Cookie Mix
• 3/4 cup soften butter
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a large bowl, pour in cookie mix and mix together. Using your hands work in softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg with vanilla. Work this into the flour mixture until well combined. Dough will be a little crumbly. Shape dough into 1 inch sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten the balls with the palm of your hand. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden on the edges. Remove from the oven, and cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
