M&M cookies

This recipe is originally from a Christmas present when a friend gave me ‘cookies in a jar’. She got the recipe from a friend who had a blog, but the link I was given will no longer open. So I thought that I should write down the recipe somewhere a bit more permanent than a post-it note that's floating around my kitchen.

This recipe makes approximately 15 cookies. It's very simple and oh so yummy

Ingredients 

• 200g plain flour
• 125g unsalted butter
• 175g caster sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract 
• 100g porridge oats
• 1 egg
• 1 bag of M&Ms (165g)
• 50g chocolate chips 

Method 

1. Preheat the oven to 180 (Celsius) and line a baking tray 
2. Rub the butter into the flour
3. Add in the sugar,vanilla extract, oats, M&Ms and chocolate chips, and mix
4. Add the egg and mix (you will probably have to use your hands)
5. Roll the dough into balls in your hands to around a size that you can cup your hands over it 
6. Place on tray and flatten
7. Put in the oven for 15-17 minutes
8. Leave to cool for 2 minutes 
9. Enjoy!
