We love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in our house. So these Reindeer Cookies (which are a play on Monster Cookies for the holidays) are even better since you add holiday M&M's to the mix as well as oatmeal and chocolate chips. Yum!
The cookies are perfect for a cookie exchange, a holiday party, on a plate for Santa on Christmas Eve, or to enjoy just because! They're easy to make, so you can have your kids join you in the kitchen - just don't be surprised if a few M&M's disappear along the way.
