M&M Cowboy Cookies

My family is always asking me to makes these cookies!! Which cracks me up because these are the only cookies I can make and NOT mess up!!! So take it from someone with terrible BAKING ( not cooking) skills!! ANYONE can make these cookies!!  This recipe I found in an old church cookbook my family had made.  Although I put M&M's instead of chocolate chips and nuts in this recipe.

This makes anywhere from 20-40 cookies just depending on how big or small you make them.  I usually use  a big spoon and measure them out.

1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 stick of butter (softened)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 bag peanut butter M&M's
1 bag mini M&M's

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

2.  In a mixing bowl mix together peanut butter, granulated sugar, packed brown sugar,butter and nutmeg.  After all is combined to a creamy  consistency add the eggs and vanilla extract and baking soda, cream these ingredients all together until well combined. Add the quick oats approximately one cup at a time.  When all the oats are covered mix in with a spatula the M&M's about 1/2 bag at a time. 

3.  Take a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.  Take a large spoon or ice cream scoop and place a mound of cookies on sprayed cookie sheet.  Put about 3 fingers in between each cookie.

4.  Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.  Let the cookies sit for about a minute and half before transferring to a cooling rack.
