Saturday Baking

I plan to do some baking over the next few days, mostly to give as small gifts to friends and family. This afternoon I made a few batches of the following cookies from the M&M's web site:
Red's Ultimate M&M Cookies
1 C (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. In large bowl cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. In medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt; blend into creamed mixture. Stir in M&M'S and nuts. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about two inches apart onto un-greased cookie sheets. Bake for ten to thirteen minutes or until edges are lightly browned and centers are still soft. Do not over-bake. Cool one minute on cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Store in tightly covered container. Recipe makes about three dozen cookies.
I cut the sugars in half, but also added another tablespoon of butter because I softened the original amount of butter too much, making it almost liquid. The cookies turned out well, though. Wilbert plans to take some to his co-workers. I'm wrapping a half-dozen each in colored paper with a red bow and the printed recipe on a decorative mini-index sheet.
Tomorrow we're whipping up a double batch of Apple Bread, and come Monday we're going to make more Irish Shortbread. There are definitely some nice cooking aromas coming from my kitchen of late.
