smartie oatmeal cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup of butter
• 1 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cup of flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 1/2 cups of large flake oats
• 1- 1 1/2 cups of Smarties
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together your butter and sugars. Once those are light and fluffy, beat in the eggs and vanilla, again until it’s light, airy and completely combined.
2. Take the flour and mix the baking soda in, then add to the bowl. Mix until the dry ingredients are blended in. Add in the oats, mixing until they are through the dough.
3. Mix the Smarties in by hand.
4. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
5. Take a golf ball sized scoop and roll into said golf ball. Then flatten them on the cookie sheets.
6. Fit 6 six to a sheet. Or, if you choose to do larger ones, space accordingly. (You must flatten them to achieve the flat yet chewy goodness)
7. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 7-8 minutes, watch them carefully, then pull them out when they look browned. They might be a little soft in the middle – good!
8. Cool them on the sheets completely.

enjoy!!
