Chewy M&M Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

• 8 ounces, weight Unsalted Butter, Softened
• 1-½ cup Brown Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1-¾ cup Old Fashion Oats
• 2 cups M&Ms

Preparation Instructions

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.
