This variation works for a Jewish celebration where you want to give the
cookies a “Jewish” flair with the blue color.
Source: Based on the recipe on bag of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Chips Makes 6 dozen 2″ cookies
* Note: I separated out all the blue, orange and brown M&Ms and used those.
This would be great fun for small children! (Both the M&M Baking Bits and
Ghirardelli chips are OU-D.)
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream margarine with sugars until light and
fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir flour with baking soda, salt and
cinnamon; add to cream mixture, mixing well. Stir in oats. Fold in
chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 minutes
for a chewy cookie, 10-12 minutes for a crisp cookie. Cool 1 minute on
cookie sheet, then transfer to wire cooling racks. Store in tightly covered
container or freeze. Makes about 6 dozen 2-inch cookies.
