Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. Christmas is alllll about cookies and you definitely won’t want to skip these. Chewy, gooey oatmeal cookies filled with dark chocolate chunks and sugar cookie M&M’s. The most perfect and festive holiday cookie for Christmas Day!! Merry Christmas guys !!
Guys its finally here !! Christmas Day. All the hype. All the planning. All the menus picked out. All the gifts bought and given. I cannot believe it is officially Christmas 2021. And I also cannot believe the year is almost over. It truly has come and gone so quick.
So, today we are celebrating another Christmas with cookies of course. Because we all know its just not Christmas without Christmas cookies. Although I had aspired to make so many more cookies than I actually got around to this year, I am super happy these made the cut. They’re the perfect combination of a thin cookie that’s crunchy on the outside but gooey on the inside.
These delicious bites are filled with oats and chocolate chips and M&M’s and the combination is just too delicious. They’re kind of a cross between an oatmeal cookie and a chocolate chip cookie. And you kind of can’t go wrong with that. And of course the sugar cookie M&M’s are just the best bonus.
Today we are celebrating with my uncles family. They are coming over later and we have a huge prime rib roast. And of course tons of other food as well. There’s the antipasto board, crab and shrimp cocktail, Baccala Salad, wedge salad, peas, Yorkshire puddings, Au Gratin potatoes, creamed spinach….literally just everything you could ever imagine.
And finally to finish with something sweet…these cookies…and espresso martinis ;)) !! Merry Christmas you guys !! Hope you all have an amazing one filled with family, friends, good food, and good cocktails !! Cheers !!
