Chewy Oatmeal M&M Cookies

   So I failed to take pictures of each step but they were delicious. I brought them to a couple of superbowl parties and people LOVED them. I doubled the recipe and managed to make at least two dozen which was plenty! Anyway they are still really good, I highly recommend giving it a try. 



Chewy Oatmeal M&M Cookies

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 and 2/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup mini M&Ms

In a large bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment or with a handheld mixer, cream the softened butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.

Slowly stir in the baking soda, cinnamon, oats, and flour. Mix together until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the mini m&ms.

Chill the dough for at least one hour in the fridge. Cookies will be very flat if the dough is not very cold. Between the batches be sure to keep the dough chilled. 

Preheat oven to 325F degrees.

Roll and drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10-11 minutes and let cool on baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack.
