Kitchen Tools Used In This Recipe





How To Make Holiday M&M Oatmeal Cookies
Let’s get started! Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment. You can also lightly grease your cookie sheet with cooking spray but I like the no-fuss clean up of parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar using a hand mixer. Then beat in eggs and vanilla extract until well incorporated.



Now, add in the remaining dry ingredients, the flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder.
Using a wooden spoon, mix in the M&Ms. I used M&M baking pieces which look just like M&Ms but I have also used regular M&Ms. I really cannot tell the difference.


Using a cookie scoop, place cookies onto cookie sheet. If you don’t have a cookie scoop, use a tablespoon and measure out heaping tablespoons.
I was able to fit about a dozen per sheet and baked in three batches.
Bake for about 10 – 12 minutes, not letting the bottoms burn. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Hope you enjoy!
