M & M COOKIE RECIPE (ORIGINAL '70'S VERSION)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease baking sheets or use parchment paper.
• 2. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda.
• 3. In large bowl, beat shortening (or butter), and sugars with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until creamy.
• 4. Stir in flour mixture until just blended. By hand, stir in 1 1/2 cups M & M's. Drop by rounded tsp. onto cookie sheet. Press several additional M & M's onto the tops of cookies.

RAISIN MUMBLES

Steps:

• 1. Combine filling ingredients in 3 qt. saucepan. Over medium heat, cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
• 2. Mix crumb ingredients together until well-combined, and evenly crumbly.
• 3. Spread half the crumb mixture in the bottom of a 9X13" baking dish, which has been prepared with food release spray. Press lightly.
• 4. Pour raisin mixture evenly over the crumb crust.
• 5. Spread remaining crumb mixture over the raising layer. Pat down gently but firmly.
• 6. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes. Cool and cut.
• 7. NOTES: I like my bars a little thicker sometimes, so I've also made this in an 11x7" baking dish, and a little extra time in the oven. This recipe is easily gluten free, by substituting gluten free flour. Also try it with a fourth to a third coconut flour, for added nutrition, fiber, and yumminess :)
