SMARTIE COOKIES
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt, 3 boxes of Smarties (or three small bags of plain M&M's)
Directions: Preheat oven to 375°F. Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix. Drop spoonfuls of batter two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Decorate the tops of cookies with two to three candies pressed into each cookie. Place Smarties in the middle of cookie, touching each other, because they spread out and separate as the cookies rise. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
