1 C. flour

½ C. sugar

½ tsp. baking soda

½ C. brown sugar

½ tsp. salt

1 egg

¾ tsp. ground cinnamon

½ tsp. vanilla extract

1 ½ C. quick-cooking rolled oats

Plain M&M’s

Mini M&M’s

Instructions

To make cookie dough:

In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until

blended. Beat in egg; stir in vanilla. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to butter mixture, blending until incorporated. Stir in oats until blended. Shape dough and bake according to project directions.

To make Oatmeal Bears:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Shape cookie dough into six 1 1/4″ balls for the bear head. Do not use all of the cookie dough. For each bear head ball, shape three 1/2″ balls for the ears and snout. Roll a third of the small balls in sugar. Flatten the cookie dough heads. We used the bottom of a glass to do this. Place three of the smaller cookie dough balls on each larger, flattened piece, making two ears and a snout. Use the pieces dipped in sugar for the snout. Carefully flatten the smaller balls. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Remove from oven and place 1 plain M&M on the snout to form a nose and two mini M&M’s towards the center to form eyes.

Serve and enjoy!
