Hipper Chippers Cookie Recipe

  This is a recipe that my nephew brought home from school and made. Then last night my SIL decided to try them and made a double batch for everyone.. they were gone pretty fast. So now I am posting the recipe here to share! These are really good and the batter is the kind where you can add anything you like to change them up. The original calls for mini M&M's, which is what we used. But you could use any candies like Reese's Pieces, or nuts, or whatever you like. I think these would be great with some chopped walnuts or pecans in them myself. :-) 

   Hipper Chippers

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup mini M&M's 

Preheat oven to 375°
Cut the butter or margarine with a table knife. Put butter in mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds or until butter is softened. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Beat on medium speed until combined, stopped the mixer occasionally to scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. 
Add the egg and the vanilla and beat of medium speed until combines. Add half the flour and beat on medium until combined and then stir in the remaining flour. Then fold in the M&M's. 
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. 

NOTE* the recipe says that it makes approximately 32 cookies. We made a double batch and came out with maybe 24...??
