Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups old fashion oats, pulvarized
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup M&M's
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides in between additions. Add the vanilla and incorporate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, pulverized oats (just measure 2 1/2 cups of oats and blend them in a high powered blender for a few seconds to break them down), baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix everything together. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 2 batches and mix on a low speed.
  • Add the M&M's, chocolate chips, dried cranberries and dried apricot and mix for a few seconds until just incorporated.
  • Using a medium sized cookie scoop, place 12 balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Transfer the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes depending on how chewy you want your cookies. I'm a 10.5 minute kind of cookie baker.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven once they are baked and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • Freeze them as needed so you always have some on hand :)
