Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature for baking these delectable cookies.
-
Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon, cream these two ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Salt: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Follow with the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until everything is well blended.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour and rolled oats. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which helps maintain a tender cookie texture.
-
Fold in Chocolate Chips and M&Ms: Finally, fold in the chocolate chips and M&M candies until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. The vibrant colors of the M&Ms will add a playful touch to each cookie.
-
Drop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-baking, as they will continue to firm up while cooling.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies are deliciously warm, but they also store beautifully, making them perfect for sharing or enjoying throughout the week.
With a wonderfully sweet and chewy texture complemented by the crunch of oats and the delightful surprise of M&Ms and chocolate chips, these M&M Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are destined to become a family favorite, perfect for any cookie jar. Whether you savor them with a glass of milk or share them with friends, you’ll find that every bite is pure bliss. Enjoy your baking experience and happy indulging!
