To make these easy cookies I spiked my classic Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with M&M’s and was in chewy yet soft cookie heaven. (Make sure not to overbake them and they’ll stay soft and chewy for days!) These oatmeal chocolate chip M&M’s cookies are hearty but not overly dense and just thick enough but not too thick. Sometimes when oatmeal cookies are overly thick they can turn dry or cakey, a total deal-breaker. But not these. Between the chewy oats, the gooey melted chocolate, and the slight crunch from the M&M’s, there’s wonderful texture in every bite. A funny story about these homemade M&M’s cookies is that I baked them on a day I had a charity donation pickup truck coming to my house to pickup old clothes, large pieces of furniture, and odds and ends I didn’t need in advance of a move. I gave half the batch to the guys picking up the donations and after trying one, one of the guys asked, “Will you marry me?” You know a cookie is beyond good if you get a marriage proposal from it!
