Oatmeal M&M Cookies

Saturday night, time for baking! I wanted to do a cookie tonight again, so I chose oatmeal m&m cookies, they are so tasty. The recipe is:

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and 2/3 cups (140g) old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag (12 oz?) mini m&m baking chips

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Mix together the butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Add the M&M’s. Roll balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie)  (or, if you’re me, just use your cookie scooper and plop onto the pan) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-11 minutes until very lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft, like they’re not done cooking, but take them out anyway! Let them sit on top of the stove for about 6 minutes, to finish cooking a little. Then let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Guys, I can’t express how good these are. They are tasty. The cinnamon is a nice little spice to add, and these look like Christmas because I bought the Christmas m&m’s. I can’t wait for the holidays!
