Oatmeal M&M Cookies ~ Makes three dozen
1 cup softened butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract *
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups oats **
1 cup M&M's
* I LOVE vanilla, 3 teaspoons is not necessary, feel free to use less if you prefer
** Quick oats or old fashioned oats will both work in this recipe, just use whichever you have on hand
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Then whisk in the cinnamon, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir in oats and M&M's.
Use ungreased baking sheets, placing rounded balls of dough about two inches apart.
Bake for 11 minutes, be sure to keep an eye on them. Cool on pan for five minutes, then transfer to cooling racks.
You can get much more or less out of this recipe depending on your preference for larger or smaller cookies. Just remember to keep checking on them while in the oven. Nobody likes a burned cookie. Enjoy!
