    • Almond or Peanut Butter
    • Gluten Free Oatmeal
    • Chocolate Chips
    • M & Ms 
    • Brown Sugar
    • Vanilla Extract 
    • Parchment Paper 

    Instructions

    Get all your ingredients out in advance. Start by mixing the eggs, almond butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

    Then add the oats, baking soda, and salt. You can use a hand mixer or wooden spoon. This is a very thick mixture.

    Add your mini M & M’s and mini chocolate chips and cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. This gives all the ingredients time to stick together. The main reason why you should refrigerate your dough is to prevent spreading and your cookies being too thin.
