Candy-Coated Chocolate Cookies:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line one baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl and mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

3. Using your hands work in 3/4 cup softened butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Work this into the flour mixture until well combined. Dough will be a little crumbly.

5. Shape dough into 1 inch sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten the balls with the palm of your hand.

6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 14 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove cookies to a rack to cool. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
