Peanut Butter M&M Cookies (With a patriotic twist)

This is one of my very favorite cookie recipes. It could easily be adapted to a 4th of July recipe by using the red, white, blue m&ms that are in stores this time of year!

1/2 c. margarine
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. flour (or use 3/4 c. white flour & 1/2 c. wheat)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
8 oz. chocolate chips or M&Ms

Cream together the margarine, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Add egg and vanilla Mix well. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly. Gently stir in the chocolate chips/M&Ms. Spoon onto cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 8-10minutes or until lightly brown. Allow to sit for 1 minute before removing from pan.
