Soft M&M cookies


Tomorrow I am having a small Valentine's party for my class and wanted to make some type of Valentine's treat. I have a ton of random allergies in my class but the poor little boy with the egg allergy NEVER gets to eat anything good. I was desperate to find an eggless cookie recipe so he could eat for once. This recipe was suggested and was perfect. They were delicious and I am sure my kids will like them tomorrow!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 6 oz. container plain(or vanilla for extra flavor) low fat yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used M&Ms)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare cookie sheets.

In a medium bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Stir in yogurt and vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until incorporated, then mix in chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges begin to brown.

Cool for a minute on the cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

  3. Just an FYI, but you may or may not know that Weight Watcher's has a cake recipe...just cake mix and diet soda (diet coke/pepsi for chocolate cake, diet cream soda for vanilla cake, etc.)

    No eggs, no oil, etc.

    I'm sure it would work for cupcakes too...just an idea for the egg boy :)

    Love the blog!
