OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP M&M COOKIES

If you browse Pinterest for just a few minutes, you start to see a pattern. There are holiday dinner recipe ideas all over it.  And all I want is a plate full of cookies. Like these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip M&M Cookies. So while I dunk them in milk and enjoy every chocolate and candy-filled bite of them, I’ll still be sitting here planning our festive holiday dinner and writing the never-ending shopping list.

These cookies are so easy to make because we are using melted butter for the dough so no mixer needed as we are not creaming or whipping the ingredients. Just mix it all together, chill for a couple of hours, scoop and bake.

I actually had a pretty funny conversation with my kiddos while we were making this batch. They wanted to know how many M&M’s and chocolate chips can we add to the dough. How much is too much? hahahaha We might have gone a little heavy handed here and then we still stuck some more on the mounds of dough sitting on our cookie sheet just before baking. Festive!

These cookies are so fun and perfect treat to share with friends and family during the holidays. I always say that treats with bright M&M candy makes people smile. 😀
