Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 11 minutes
Serves 6 people
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temp
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 cups whole rolled oats
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup mini m&ms
Directions
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugars until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
-
Slowly stir in the baking soda, oats, and flour. Mix together until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the mini m&ms.
-
Chill the dough for at least one hour in the fridge. (cookies will be very flat if the dough is not very cold)
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
-
Roll and drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet or silpat. Bake for 11 minutes and let cool on baking sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack.
-
- The cookies will be very soft and may appear undone after only 11 minutes in the oven, but they will firm up.
-
- Make sure to keep the unused dough in the fridge as each batch is baking. The dough MUST be cold.
