Oatmeal and M&M Cookies

This is another recipe I got from This Mommy Cooks.  

These cookies were fun to make with the kiddos and they just LOVED having the M&Ms as a special treat.  We thoroughly enjoyed these and had so many to share!



Oatmeal M&M Cookies

from paperseed

Ingredients

2 sticks butter, softened

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (If you don't like cinnamon, half this amount.)

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

3 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)

2 cups M&Ms

Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats and M&Ms; mix well. I used my stand mixer for these.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1-2 minutes on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.
