M&M Everything Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Toast nuts on a small un-greased pan at 350 F for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let them cool.

2. Turn oven temperature up to 375 F.

3. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and optional ground flax in a small bowl. Set aside.

4. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture and milk. Stir in chocolate chips, oats, raisins, nuts, coconut, and M&M’s candies.

5. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.

6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are crisp but centers are still soft. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; then remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes:
1. I use less chocolate chips when adding M&M’s, but if you are a chocolate lover, go all out.
2. Makes about 3 dozen.
