Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Step 6
Fold in the rolled oats and M&M candies using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to cook as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
