Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl stir together the dry ingredients except M&Ms, chocolate and nuts if using. (Note that if you are using the "in a jar" blend, the M&Ms, chocolate, and possibly nuts will already be together in the jar.)
- In a separate bow, beat together egg, vanilla and slightly melted butter.
- Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine.
- Stir in the M&Ms, chocolate and nuts (if using).
- Scoop a generous tablespoon of dough and roll into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place on a greased or parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake just slightly golden but do not brown or they will be dry. I put 9 cookies per cookie sheet.
- Let cool on pan briefly then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- To prepare jars for "in a jar" option.
- Start with clean quart-sized canning or other jars. (I have used old glass mayonnaise jars, as well as standard canning jars.
- Layer ingredients, alternating colors. The following order is good: Brown sugar mixed with cinnamon; White sugar; Chocolate chips; M & Ms; Oatmeal; Flour mixed with baking soda, baking powder & salt; Coconut
- Tamp down each layer tightly or you will run out of space. Pay special attention around the edge of the glass which is the area that shows. I found a melon baller worked well for this. And for a narrow mouthed jar, a canning funnel can make pouring easier.
- To bake the "in a jar" option, pour the jar contents into a bowl, then mix in beaten egg, slightly melted butter and vanilla. Bake according to regular directions above.
