We had some leftover M&Ms ( a rare experience...) from a project my oldest Hungry Puppy was doing the other day. My Hungry Puppies and I brainstormed a little bit to figure out what the best way would be to use them up. We decided on chocolate oatmeal cookies with M&Ms and peanut butter chips. These cookies have a great chocolate flavor, and still have that great oatmeal texture to them. Of course the M&Ms and peanut butter chips just make them better! Original recipe found here.
Chocolate Oatmeal M&M Cookies
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
2 Tablespoons dark cocoa powder (or substitute regular cocoa powder)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup M&Ms
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until well blended and smooth. Add the flour, cocoa powder, dark cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined. Stir in the oats, M&Ms, and peanut butter chips.
Drop the dough by tablespoon size balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the rpeheated oven for 9 to 10 mintues, or until the cookies are just set in the center. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for about 5 minutes (the cookies will be quite soft). Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 36 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
