Butterscotch, Oatmeal, M&M Cookies

Really...doesn't the title say it all? The kids helped make these and they are most helpful gobbling them up as well! This lovely recipe came from one of my favs, Picky Palate.

Ingredients
2 sticks butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp butterscotch ice cream topping
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I would use much less next time)
1 cup M&M's

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In kitchenaid mix butter and sugars until well blended. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and butterscotch topping. In large bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry along with chocolate chips until well combined. Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough into muffin top pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. I don't have this nifty pan (but someone should tell my husband that I would love to have one) so I used a cookie sheet and they turned out just fine. I simply flattened them a bit and sprinkled a few M&M's on top of each cookie. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Makes about 24 large cookies.
