Chewy Oatmeal Raisin M&M Cookies

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin M&M Cookies blend rolled oats and raisins with colorful red and green M&M's for a festive twist on classic oatmeal cookies. The cookies have a soft, chewy texture with a balanced sweetness from brown and white sugars and a hint of vanilla, chilled dough for better shape, and a baked golden exterior.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 unsalted butter softened, sticks (units not specified
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar , firmly packed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins
  • 20 M&M's red color
  • 20 M&M's green

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt.
  3. In your stand mixer cream the butter and sugar for 1-2 minutes on high until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the dark brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
  5. Add in the dry ingredients a third of it at a time until just incorporated.
  6. Add in the oats, raisins and M&Ms and mix in on low for just a few seconds until combined.
  7. Refrigerate your dough for 30 minutes AT LEAST (the longer the better).
  8. Depending on the size of the cookies you want, your baking time will vary.
  9. For large cookies as pictured, using an ice cream scoop (1/4 cup) drop onto greased pan or using a silpat liner, bake for 12-14 minutes (I get 18 cookies).
  10. For medium cookies, using a two tablespoon measure (like a coffee scoop, the one I use is double duty with a 2 tbsp measure on one side and a 1 tbsp measure on the other side) bake for 11-13 minutes (I get 36 cookies).
  11. For small cookies, using a 1 tablespoon measure, bake for 9-11 minutes (I get 72 cookies).
  12. You don't need the cookies to brown too much, so the moment the bottoms get brown, pull them out.
