Day 10: Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies. I can’t believe that I’ve never posted these cookies before. They’re the ones right under the flap of your oats!

When I want an oatmeal cookie but I don’t want to try a new recipe, I default to this one. It’s a family favorite and always comes out how you expect them to.

I made these pretty small, which is why they’re more ball shaped than normal. If you create larger cookie dough balls, the cookies will flatten out a bit more.

Day 9: Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookies. Yes, these are basically your normal chocolate chip cookies with a ton of brightly colored sprinkles all over. There’s nothing special about them, except for the fact that they’re pretty. Bakerella sure know how to make everything look good.

The taste, though? These cookies would probably be a 5 out of 10 for me. They’re not bad, they’re not great. They’re just… average. Straight in the middle of the scale average. Sorry, Bakerella. I found them to be a little stale tasting straight from the oven. How does that even happen?

If you’re looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe, then I’d recommend my favorite chocolate chip cookies. I have yet to find a recipe that beats it.

Just roll your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe into some sprinkles and you’ve got yourself a better cookie than this one.

Day 8: Chewy Oatmeal M&M Cookies

Day 8: Chewy Oatmeal M&M Cookies. Stock up on those mini M&M bags whenever you see them! I do. I used to find the bags consistently at Target, but now it’s hit or miss. Some Targets have them in stock, but once it sells out, it’s gone forever. I need to find the shipping schedule for mini M&M’s, stat.

I made these cookies mini-sized, just like the M&M’s. They didn’t flatten at all while baking, so I pushed them down with a spatula a little after they came out of the oven just to make them look more cookie-like.

These cookies would make a great “lunchbox” cookie. Put them in your child’s bag as a surprise when they leave for school. They’ll be so excited when they find this colorful goodie at lunch time!
