1
In a large bowl using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix for 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking soda, sea salt and baking powder and slowly combine, making sure not to over-mix the batter.
2
Add the oats and M&M's and use a rubber spatula to combine. Refrigerate batter for 1 hour.
3
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
4
Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop 12 cookies onto each parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer sheets into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies just slightly turn a golden brown color on the edges but are still soft and chewy in the middle. Remove pans from oven, transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat process for remaining dough.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
