Chewy Oatmeal Cookies with M&Ms and Chocolate Chips
I love cookies, pretty much every kind of cookie really. But I have a cookie idiosyncracity, I hate raisins in cookies, I hate raisins baked in anything actually. But Matthew, and many members of my family love oatmeal raisin cookies. Since I love to bake, I like to make things that other people enjoy, but I have a hard time forcing myself to make oatmeal raisin cookies. So I came up with this alternative. I love oatmeal in baked goods, mix in a little chocolate and you’ve got a winning combination!

- Add oat mixture to sugar mixture and mix well to combine.
- Stir in chocolate chips and M&Ms.

- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (I usual do 10 because I like them chewy).
