1. Blend shortening and sugars in a large bowl. Beat in vanilla and eggs.
Sift remaining dry ingredients together; add to sugar-egg mixture, blending
well. Stir in 1/2 cup of candies (reserving remaining candies for
decorating).
2. Drop from teaspoon on ungreased cookie sheet; decorate tops with
remaining candies. Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees) 10 minutes, or until

baking, some candies may be slightly cracked. This adds texture and
interest to cookies–still the same delightful flavor.
