List of Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 12-ounce package (1 3/4 cups) M&M's Semi-Sweet OR Milk Chocolate Baking Bits
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 F
In a bowl beat butter, sugar and orange peel until light and fluffy. Add oatmeal and flour; mix until well blended. Stir in M&M's. Shape dough into 1.5-inch balls; place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press balls very lightly (the DOUGH not.. oh never mind) to flatten using the bottom of a glass. Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden around edges. Cool 10 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring to plate. Store in tightly covered container. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
