Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup shortening*
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 16 oz. M&M candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, cream butter, shortening, and sugar with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat in eggs.
- In a separate bowl whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together.
- Combine flour mixture with wet ingredients.
- Scoop cookies, using a medium cookie scoop, and place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Completely cover each cookie dough ball with M&Ms. No need to cover the bottom of each dough ball, just the top and sides. You can do this by hand or press the cookie dough ball into a bowl of M&M candies.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. Let cookies stand on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes
- I like using a 50/50 combination of butter and shortening in my sugar cookie recipes because I think it gives them the best texture, but you can use all butter if you’d like. I always use salted butter, but you can use unsalted butter if you'd like.
- Store cookies in an air-tight container. You can also store these cookies in the freezer, but the M&Ms may bleed a bit into the cookie when thawed.
