These are traditional monster cookies with a twist!
There are a little bit of everything inside these babies and are absolutely festive with the addition of Christmas M&Ms.
You have got to try these! And of course you could make them anytime of year with regular M&Ms.

- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1-1/4 cup holiday M&Ms, divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy, 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla.
- When the wet ingredients are combined, add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Turn mixer on low and beat in the oats.
