Originally I made these cookies for a cookie swap! For the swap I made Oatmeal and Candy Cookies with Christmas colored M&Ms and they were amazing! These cookies are obviously really easy to customize by just swapping out the M&M colors. You can change them up for different holidays, your favorite team or even use pink and blue for a baby shower! So many possibilities!
Oatmeal-Candy Holiday Cookies:
Makes 2 dozen
You will need:
- 1 1/3 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup M&Ms in holiday colors of choice
- 1 cup oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
What to do:
- mix all dry ingredients
- melt butter and then add butter, egg and vanilla
- mix until just mixed, some of the M&Ms might break and thats okay!
- Drop by rounded 2 tablespoons onto baking sheet
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, let cool a minute and then transfer to wire cooling rack to finish cooling
Guys these cookies are so amazing you won’t even believe it! I’m not even joking, I made these again when family was over visiting and we ate them all in less than 2 days!
Enjoy!
Those look so festive, delicious and easy to make, too. I might have to add these to my holiday baking list. 🙂
These look great. The kids would love the m&ms and we would like the oatmeal.
I love a cakey, frosted sugar cookie!

These cookies look amazing and I am totally pinning them for future use!! My favorite Christmas cookie recipe has to be either my great-grandma's Ice Box cookies or her spritz cookie recipes. My Nan (great gma) used to make soooo many cookies and I am so thankful that her recipes have been passed down to me so that I can try my hand at them!
Nice post!
