Notes

My Kitchen-aid mixing bowl is not big enough to mix all of this dough. So I add as many oats as will fit in the bowl and slowly mix. Then I pour the cookie dough into a bigger bowl and stir in the remaining oats, chocolate chips, and M&M's.
If your cookies come out of the oven looking fat and puffy, plop the cookie sheet down onto your counter a couple of times, it will flatten them.
This recipe makes a large batch (about 60 cookies), so I recommend storing some of your cookies in the freezer to keep them fresh.
