    Nothing beats a classic. These M & M Oatmeal Cookies are always a hit, no matter when you serve them!

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2011. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    We're headed over to my father-in-law's house today to play some cards (Russian Rummy to be exact) and to take him out to dinner.  

    He is a wonderful man who just turned 90 last summer and remains active and spry.  I hope that if I live to be that age I too will keep myself in as good of shape as he has, and does.

    To show him how much he means to us, I baked him some cookies to take to him today.  They're healthy (hence the oatmeal) and yet sweet (the candy addition), just like he is.

    I hope that he enjoys eating them as much as I enjoyed making them for him.

    CANDY-COATED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES      {PRINT THIS RECIPE}


    2 cups all-purpose flour
    ½ teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ½ cup softened butter
    ½ cup canola oil
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 eggs
    2 cups quick-cooking oats
    1 cup candy-coated chocolates (I used mini m and m's)

    -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    -Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
    -In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, oil, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
    -Beat in the eggs one at a time.
    -Gradually stir in the sifted ingredients and blend until well combined.
    -Stir in the oats and candy.
    -Using a teaspoon, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
    -Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are a golden brown.
    -Cool a few moments before removing it from the baking sheets.

     
     

    I'm thankful that I still have a good supply of bakery boxes left from my cookie business days.

    It makes for such a perfect way to present them to him as a gift without him concerning himself about returning a plate, and it sure as heck is a lot better than a zip-top baggie (not that there is anything wrong with that. :)!

     
     
    I hope you enjoyed this fast and easy recipe for a classic oatmeal chocolate candy cookie as much as I've enjoyed bringing it to you.
