Chewy Chocolate Chip M&M Oatmeal Cookies are easy to make, big, and every bite is chewy!

Chewy Cookies
Chewy cookies are my favorite type of cookie. These cookies have a chewy center, crispy edges, and chocolate pieces that add a nice crunch to the cookies.

Quick and Easy Cookies
These cookies are quick and easy to make and fun to bake with the kids! The M&M's can be swapped out for any color, which makes them a great cookie for Holidays and celebrations.
To make these cookies, using softened butter is ideal because it's easy to work with. It also makes these cookies soft and chewy than if you were using chilled butter.
Additionally, the light corn syrup is added to these cookies as well to make them extra chewy.
With a combination of semisweet chocolate chips and M&M's, these cookies have a great balance of chewy, crispy, and crunchy.
Baking the Chewy Chocolate Chip M&M Oatmeal Cookies
Starting with softened butter, the brown sugar and granulated sugar are added to the butter and beat until it is light and fluffy.
Light corn syrup is added to the mixture as well as the vanilla extract.
Next, the eggs are added one at a time and beaten into the mixture.
The all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and oats are combined in a separate bowl and slowly beat into the wet ingredients.
The mixture of chocolate chips and M&M's are stirred into the mixture and then the cookie dough is scooped out and placed on a cookie sheet.
I use a cookie scoop to get equally shaped cookies and place them on a silicone baking mat. I use the baking mats because the cookies come off easily and they're so easy to clean.

Hi, it says add eggs 1 at a time but the ingredient list fails.to say how many. As an extremely experienced Baker I'm gonna wing it with 2. Just thought you should know the pops. ?
Dana says
Oh yes, two eggs is correct! Thanks for letting me know that they weren't on the ingredient list - they're added in there now! 🙂

I’ve tried a lot of cookie recipes, and unfortunately, I can’t recommend this one. The dough was extremely hard to work with, very dry, as if there was too much oatmeal. Then, the cookies didn’t spread on the baking sheet, despite all of the butter. I’m not really sure why that was the case, but I had to press them all down pretty flat to bake them, because leaving them in a ball didn’t work.
