Cooking instruction summary:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl with an electric mixer) cream the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla, beating on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Add the M&Ms, and beat on low speed until just combined. Use a large cookie scoop (or 1/4 cup measuring cup) to form large dough mounds. Place about 6 cookies each on an ungreased baking sheets, or sheets lined with parchment or a silpat. Use your hand to flatten the dough just slightly, keeping the cookie dough still very tall. While the oven is preheating to 350F, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 5 minutes before baking. This will chill your dough and allow the outside to set before spreading too much while baking.Bake at 350F for 11-12 minutes, or until edges have set and tops look set. The middle will still look undercooked. Cookies firm up as they cool. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before serving warm or moving to a cooling rack to completely cool.

Food Joke

A monastery in the English countryside had fallen on hard times, and decided to establish a business to defray their expenses, such as a bakery or winery. Being English, however, they decided to open a fish-and-chips restaurant. The establishment soon became very popular, attracting people from all over. One city fellow, thinking himself clever, asked one of the brothers standing nearby, "I suppose you're the 'fish friar'?" "No", answered the brother levelly, "I'm the 'chip monk'".
