cookies!

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well! It is starting to feel a little bit like fall here and I don't know about you, but a chill in the air leads me to do one thing - BAKE!

I found this recipe for cookies on another site and they looked so good I had to try them out!

Now you are probably thinking, Cookies? Are you sure Emily? I didn't think cookies were good for you......Well, not all cookies are healthy but our philosophy on food means there is nothing we can't have. Cookies included. As with all good things in life, portion control is key. I froze half of my cookies and I'm taking a lot of the rest to share with my friends so that they are not all staring at me in the face!

I like these cookies in particular because they taste great, the simple, short ingredient list and the fact that no flour is used, it is all oats which means it is 100% whole-grain.

Note: I used about 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chip cookies instead of m&m's and 2 kinds of chocolate chips - still turned out great!

Onto the good stuff! This recipe is taken from Michelle at Taste as You Go.

Printable Recipe

2/3 cup butter

1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups chunky peanut butter

3, eggs (organic, if possible), beaten

5 1/2 cups old fashioned oatmeal

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

6 ounces M&M Minis

Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Once the butter has melted, pour it into the largest bowl you can find. With a large wooden spoon, blend in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter. When the temperature of the mixture has dropped enough so it won't cook the beaten eggs, add the eggs and stir until the batter is just mixed. Then, in order, stir in the baking soda, the white chocolate chips, the milk chocolate chips, and the M&Ms. Add the oatmeal, one cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least two hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Drop dough on parchment-lined baking sheets with a large spoon, making sure the dough is fairly well packed. Flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Watch the cookies carefully, as they have a tendency to burn easily.
