1 1/3 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 c. Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 c. M&M'S® plain chocolate candies
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl until well blended. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart onto cookie sheet. Press 3 or 4 additional candies in each cookie, if desired. Bake until light brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly; remove to wire rack. About 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

I use this recipe to make "Monster Cookies." I double the recipe and use chocolate chips in dough. Use level ice cream scoop and drop cookies onto cookie sheet. Press down to approximately 1/2 inch thick. Top with M&M'S®. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 15 to 18 minutes.

Also can use this recipe to make a pizza pan size cookie. Spread dough to about 1 inch of edge of pan and bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. Decorate as desired.
