Serves: 30
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature for 20 minutes
  • 7½ ounces packed light brown sugar (1 cup)
  • 7 ounces granulated white sugar (1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
  • 1 ounce rolled (old-fashioned) oats (1/4 cup)
  • 14 ounces all purpose unbleached flour (3 cups plus 2 TBL)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chunks (approximately 1½ cups)
  • 12 ounces m&m's (1 bag or approximately 2 cups)
Instructions
  1. Cream together butter and sugars in mixing bowl, careful not to overbeat.
  2. Combine the eggs with vanilla and add to your mixture, mixing just to blend the egg with the sugars and butter.
  3. Add the rolled oats.
  4. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir in the white chocolate, using your hands to finish mixing in. Add the M&M candies and stir by hand to avoid breaking the M&M's.
  5. Portion 2 oz of dough with a cookie scoop ( ice cream scoop) for each cookie or you can use a ¼ cup measuring cup to estimate.
  6. Cover and Chill the dough balls one hour. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake 12 minutes. Let cool on tray until set, then enjoy!!
Notes
You can add the entire bag of m&m's candies to the recipe or save some and top each dough ball with a few if you want the candies to stand out. This is not necessary of course, unless you are photographing your creations!
