M & M Cookies


These M & M cookies are so easy to make and so quick - perfect for when you want something warm and chocolately for this cold time of year. I originally got the recipe from Bakerella's blog and decided I'd give these quick cookies a go - I've translated the recipe from cups to grams below to make things a little easier. 

This recipe makes around 12 cookies:

75g Chocolate chips
100g M & Ms (Smarties would work well too!)
110g plain flour
2/3rds tsp baking powder
2/3rds tsp bicarbonate soda
1/4 tsp salt
65g porridge oats 
75g brown sugar
60g white sugar
1 small egg
75g butter
1 tsp vanilla essence



Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees. Mix all of the dry ingredients together above in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Then add the egg, butter (melted slightly in the microwave) and vanilla essence. 



Roll little balls (around walnut sized) in your hands and but them on a well oiled baking tray - it doesn't matter too much if they're not very neat!



Bake these in the oven for up to 10 minutes (I gave half the batch 7 minutes for a gooey centre and half the full 10 minutes for a crispier finish - we thought the gooey ones were the best!). So simple and they don't take up much time at all!

These could also work really well with any broken up chocolate bars - a Lion bar would be yummy to try!
