Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F/180C/170C fan and line a baking tray with baking paper or a silicone mat.
Cream together the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
Fold in the M&Ms.
Using your hands pinch off bits of dough about the size of a walnut. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until light golden. Leave to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container.
