Our Favorite One Bowl Super Cookies

Mixed in just the right order, these cookies don't need separate bowls for dry and wet ingredients.

Preheat oven to 325.

In a large bowl stir until thoroughly combined:

• 1 1/3 C all purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup oats. Quick cooking is fine, but we like hearty old fashioned. Steel cut would NOT work. Definitely not instant.

Toss in the flour mixture until coated:

•  3/4 C M&Ms
•  3/4 C chocolate chips. Equally delicious with either semi-sweet or milk chocolate. I've even mixed!

Stir in:

• 1/2 C brown sugar
• 1/2 C regular sugar
• OPTIONAL: 1/2 C shopped nuts (we like pecans.)

 Then stir in:

•  1 egg
• 1/2 C butter. (1 stick)
• 1 tsp vanilla

Mix until completely cohesive. Portion into cookies using a small cookie scoop, or a couple of tablespoons.

Bake until just golden around the edges. Let cool on the pan for 3 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cook. If you use a cookie scoop this recipe will make about 2 and a half dozen cookies.
