 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      c             Butter
  1      c             Granulated sugar
  1      lg            Egg
  1      ts            Vanilla extract
  2      c             All-purpose flour
  1      ts            Baking soda
 12      oz            M&M's Baking Bits
                       Granulated sugar -- as needed

Preheat oven to 350°F.

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" balls. Place on greased cookie sheets about 2" 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.
