Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pkg M&M's Baking Bits (either flavor) -- (12 oz.)
granulated sugar -- as needed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and sugar until light
and fluffy; add egg and vanilla. Combine flour and baking soda; add to
creamed mixture just until blended. Stir in M&M's Chocolate Baking
Bits. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place on greased cookie sheets about
2-inches apart. With bottom of a glass dipped in sugar, flatten dough very
slightly so as not to crush the baking bits. (NOTE: Very important to keep
the balls of dough small and just barely flattened because these SPREAD out
a lot.) Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden; let cool 1
minute before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Store in tightly
covered containers.
