This delicious M&M Easter cookie recipe is a perfectly chewy, peanut buttery, oat-y, chocolatey way to celebrate the upcoming holiday!

Holidays make me think I have a legitimate excuse to eat all the treats I want in order to celebrate fully. For example, Valentine’s Day – eat all the chocolates; Thanksgiving – eat all the pie; Christmas – eat all the fudge.

And do you know what I eat at Easter? All the edible pastel things. But I was really craving cookies, so I put edible pastel things in and on the cookies, and then it was all in the name of festivity.
