This recipe combines two very popular types of cookies – a spritz cookie and a thumbprint cookie! The base is slightly sweet and buttery and is perfectly paired with a single candy-coated chocolate. These are slightly crumbly, but not dry, and paired with a red or white M&M candy, these cookies are delicious!

Equipment

Cookie Spritz or Cookie Press

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

2 cups butter, softened
2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup M&M Candy both red and white

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and the sugar until well combined – about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and the vanilla extract. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture until completely incorporated.
Next, sift together the flour, and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
Load the cookie dough into a cookie press which has been fitted with the disc of your choosing. Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Top the center of each cookie with one red or white M&M candy.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
