Chewy M&M Oatmeal Cookies

In a large bowl using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix for 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking soda, sea salt and baking powder and slowly combine, making sure not to over-mix the batter.

Add the oats and M&M’s and use a rubber spatula to combine. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop 12 cookies onto each parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer sheets into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies just slightly turn a golden brown color on the edges but are still soft and chewy in the middle. Remove pans from oven, transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat process for remaining dough.
