Oatmeal M&M Cookies

I'd always rather make a warm batch of cookies than send a store bought brand in my husbands lunch.  There worth every big of work it takes to pop on straight from the oven into your mouth.  Our house is a fan of M&M's.  I was staring at the big bowl on the table wonder what to do with them.  What else?  Make a batch of cookies.  Not to bad, I have to say.  This recipe makes approximately 3 to 4 dozen.


1/2 Stick Butter
1 Egg
2 cups Flour
1/2 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup White Sugar
1/2 Cup Cocoa
1/2 TSP salt
1 TSP Baking Powder
2 Cups Candy M&M's.
1 1/2 Cups Quick Cook Oats

Mix egg and butter in bowl until well blended and creamy.  Mix in flour, sugar and coco until you have a stiff batter, adding in baking powder and salt.  Fold in oats and M&M's, leaving out a small handful.  Drop batter by spoonful onto cookie sheet baking in oven at 350 for 10 to 12 minutes until center is completely cook through.  Place one M&M in center of cookies while they are still hot.
