Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2
In a large stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides in between additions. Add the vanilla and incorporate.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the flour, pulverized oats (just measure 2 1/2 cups of oats and blend them in a high powered blender for a few seconds to break them down), baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix everything together. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 2 batches and mix on a low speed.
Step 5
Add the M&M's, chocolate chips, dried cranberries and dried apricot and mix for a few seconds until just incorporated.
Step 6
Using a medium sized cookie scoop, place 12 balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 7
Transfer the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes depending on how chewy you want your cookies. I'm a 10.5 minute kind of cookie baker.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven once they are baked and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Step 9
Freeze them as needed so you always have some on hand :)
Step 10
Save recipe for the next time?
