Holiday Candy Cookies

A recipe I acquired from a cookie swap.

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar firmly packed
  • ⅔ cup butter softened
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 package M&Ms red and green
  • 1 cup white chocolate baking chips

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine sugar, butter, and peanut butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
  • Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
  • Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes).
  • Stir in oats, m&ms and chips by hand.
  • Drop dough by heaping teaspoons into paper-lined mini muffin pans. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until set and light golden brown.
  • Let stand 2 minutes; remove from pans.
  • Note: When I put my paper liners into the mini muffin pans they kind of crumpled up, so I used regular muffin pans with the mini liners and they seemed to make a prettier cookie.
