One-Is-Enough Cookies

I found this recipe in a cookbook that I got through PaperBack Swap. Just gotta love that site.(Check it out-tell them Paula P. sent you) The cookbook is Uptown Down South.

The cookbook is set up with a menu for various occasions. This particular recipe is on the Cookie Swap menu.

ONE-IS-ENOUGH COOKIES

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed

3 eggs

3/4 tsp. light corn syrup

4 1/2 cups rolled oats, uncooked

2 tsps. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 cup M&M plain candies

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

**Cookies are good. Middle son (11 y/o) likes them. Daughter does not. Today she has decided she does not like oatmeal. Tomorrow she will probably want oatmeal for breakfast. LOL!!
