Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and rolled oats. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine butter, light brown sugar and superfine sugar. Beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat again until smooth.
- Step 2
Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and beat until smooth. By hand, fold in chopped pecans and M&M's.
- Step 3
Roll quarter-cup measures of dough into balls and flatten them into fat disks (about ½ inch thick). Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet, about 6 at a time, so they have room to spread.
- Step 4
Bake until cookies are risen, dry on surface and very lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. They will be too soft to lift from baking sheet. Set aside to harden for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

These were awesome! I’m eight years old and I made them without any help.
the photo above does not honestly represent this recipe. the MnMs in the photo have been pressed into the cookie by hand after, or near the end of, baking. If you follow the recipe above, and fold the candies into the dough, as told to, the MnMs will be covered in dough and the colors will bleed into the dough as they bake.
Actually, I just made these, as directed, using Reese's Pieces instead of M&Ms and they turned out exactly as pictured.
I used Reese’s Pieces and M&Ms and the colors did not bleed—the cookies turned out great. And, I was able to finish making the dough before the oven preheated.
Perfect fall/Halloween treat! Who doesn’t love having an excuse to buy Reese’s Pieces?
Has anyone done this as a bar cookie?
