M&M "Cookie" Cupcakes

Once a month we have a meeting at my work and I like to make baked goods for the meetings. I had not made cupcakes in the past couple of weeks so I decided it was time for cupcakes. When trying to find cupcakes that would inspire me, I thought why not make the chocolate chip "cookie" cupcakes, but this time with a spin. Instead of using the chocolate chips I used M&Ms.

Allow cupcakes to completely cool before frosting.

1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Cream shorting and butter
2. Add sugar, vanilla, and milk
