Oatmeal M&M Cookie
Jennie Duncan
I love oatmeal cookies and these Oatmeal M&M Cookie are some of the best. Loaded with M&M candies and chewy and soft when baked.

- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ cups quick oats
- 1 cup M&Ms
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare a cooking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper and set aside.
Cream together melted (and slightly cooled) butter with sugar and brown sugar in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer until well combined. Next beat in vanilla, cinnamon, egg, and egg yolk. Beat together for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly mix this with your wet ingredients until well combined. Last fold in oats and M&Ms.
Roll out balls of dough and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow cooling for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet before moving it to a cooling rack.
- Tip: I allow my butter to cool slightly so when I add my egg the hot butter does not start to cook my egg.
- Tip: I add a few more M&Ms to the top of my rolled cookies to make them pretty but it's not necessary.
Additional Cookie Tips:
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet as it will provide a buffer layer between the cookie and the metal pan. This will allow the sugars of the M & M candies to not burn if any of them are directly touching the pan.
- I used Quick Oats on this recipes as I wanted a softer, chewier cookie. If you use Original Old Fashioned Oats you will have a thicker more dense cookie. Quick Oats are softer and take on some of the oil and liquids better when baking making them softer.
- Use 1 tablespoon of Molasses as an additional sweetener if you want your cookies to have an Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookie flavor.
