Lunch Box Oatmeal Cookies

Time for another What's Cookin' Wednesday with Heather of Life as We Know it. This week Aaron and I made these Lunch Box Oatmeal Cookies. I saw them in this weeks coupon insert and immediately had to look them up, they looked so good! Aaron is definitely my helper when it comes to baking and I was so happy he could help me make these, and then sample a few.

Here's what you need:

• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 3/4 cups uncooked old-fashioned quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces

Here's what to do:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in large bowl.
• Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
• Reduce speed to low; add oats, flour, baking soda and salt.
• Continue beating until well mixed.
• Stir in chocolate pieces.
• Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• Let stand 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire cooling rack.

These cookies are so flippin' delicious! I hope you enjoy them as much as Aaron and I did!
