Description

These rich, delicious flour-less cookies are a favorite in my family! I especially love how I can change them up to suit my mood just by using different colors of m&ms! Here I’ve used red and green for Christmas (of course!) but I’ve also done pink for a baby shower, orange and black for Halloween … you get the idea!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1-¼ cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • 3 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1-¼ cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 4-½ cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • ½ cups Sweetened, Flaked Coconut
  • ½ cups Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms, Divided

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix the ingredients together in the order listed, but reserve half of the m&ms. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls or use a medium scoop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork dipped in cold water. Press a few of the reserved m&ms into the top of the cookies that have no m&ms showing.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. These cookies are best slightly under-done, so err on the side of taking them out too soon rather than letting them get overdone!
