Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough

- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreos, M&M’s, and chocolate chips.
3. Chill the Dough
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent excessive spreading.
4. Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients – Ensures even mixing for a smooth dough.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough – Prevents tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough – Helps control spread and enhances flavor.
- Add Extra M&M’s After Baking – Press a few onto the warm cookies for a festive look.
