M&M  Cookies (modified from here)

2 1/4 cups flour (I used 1 c. wheat 1 1/4 c. white)
2 tsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar (forgot to add this -- and didn't realize it until I was typing this up)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 11oz m&m's

Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg and yolk and vanilla.

Add flour mixture until combined. Add M&Ms. Drop by the teaspoonful. Bake 10-12 minutes.
