Christmas Monster Cookies

One of my favorite traditions is spending the day of Christmas Eve, Eve (the 23rd) baking Christmas Cookies & other goodies. I was busy today making over 6 dozen types of treats, including these Christmas Monster Cookies!

Here is what you need:

1 1/3 Cup of Flour

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg
1 stick of butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup quick oats
1/3 cup Christmas m&ms
2/3 cup chocolate chips (I use milk chocolate)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup Peanut Butter (I use Skippy)

 Directions:
Add all ingredients to a bowl (except chocolate chip and m&m's)

Mix it well:

 Mix in the m&m's:

 And chocolate chips:

 I always "test" the dough at this point to make sure it's okay ;)

 Roll into balls:

 Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes:

 Yum!

 We love these cookies!

They are super easy to make & I love the red & green colors!

Hope you love them!

I will be back tomorrow with my easy & delicous fudge recipe that takes less than 10 minutes to make!

Merry Christmas Eve, Eve!
