SPICED OATMEAL M&M COOKIES

“These cookies are a variation of my Grandma Franck’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, where just a hint of nutmeg and the substitution of M&Ms turn these cookies into an Autumn Festival of flavors. The brightly colored M&Ms will engage your eyes, while the cinnamon and nutmeg will dance on your tongue. Simple, flavorful, and fun, what more could you want in a cookie? Enjoy!”
