16 oz. M&M'S® (plain)
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheets. Coarsely chop about 1 1/2 cups of the M&M'S®; reserve the remaining whole M&M'S® for decorations. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients gradually. Add chopped M&M'S® and nuts; mix. Drop batter (by rounded tablespoonfuls) on baking sheets. Bake 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven. Decorate cookies with remaining M&M'S®. Return to oven and bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until light brown. Remove from baking sheets. Cool on wire rack.
