Oatmeal M&M Cookies


The first time I made this recipe it turned out to be kind of a flop, so I threw out the recipe.  Then my Hungry Puppies and I did a taste test and we loved them!  They were so delicious!  It's a good thing too, because it took me three attempts to get it right!  The flavor was really great, but they turned out really flat and pancake-y.  Not my favorite.  So, I retrieved the recipe and made a couple of changes so that now the consistency of the cookie matches the flavor.  This recipe can be doubled for a larger batch.

Oatmeal M&M Cookies

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup butter shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon mexican vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup quick oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini M&Ms

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter, shortening, sugar, and brown sugar.  Beat in the egg and vanilla.  Add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined.  Stir in the M&Ms. 

Drop by 2 tablespoonsfull on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and just set in the center.  Remove cookies from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes 18 cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
