I made these for a Hallowe'en party (using only fall colours, of course) and they were generally well-received. I substituted unsalted butter for the shortening and cut back the white sugar a little. I followed the directions and added 1/2 c. of candy (plus a couple on top), but it wasn't enough, so next time I'll try 3/4 c. Thanks for sharing!

Just as described - soft and chewy! These are the best M&M cookies I've tried. I did as other reviewers suggested and lowered the baking temp to 350. I also used butter because I don't keep shortening on hand. Thanks for the great recipe!

I was disappointed as the cookies turned out crispy instead of soft and chewy. I followed the recipe exactly. ?? Also taste too "crisco-y" for our liking.

These turn out soft and chewy and the dough is very easy to work with. The first batch I made at Cristmas didn't even make to the cookie tray!- these are my kids (21,20 & 17) 
FAVORITE cookies.
