• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup margarine - softened
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1 - 12 oz. bag of M & M's plain chocolate candies or M & M's mini baking bits

Preparation -
Cream together both sugars and the margerine until light & fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the creamed mixture. Stir in the M & M's. Drop by heaping teaspoons full, about 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 350º for 10 to 13 minutes or until the cookie edges are lightly browned. Cool for about a minute before removing from the cookie sheets. Cool completely on wire racks before storing in a tightly covered container.
