Instructions In a VERY large bowl, beat together the butter, Crisco, and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, water, and eggs, and beat to combine again. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat to combine once more. Stir in the Quaker oats, chocolate chips, and M&M'S® Holiday Baking Minis by hand until the whole thing is very well combined. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator to allow the dough to chill for about 15 minutes while your oven preheats. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Top with dough in 2-3 tbsp. portions (depending on how large you like your cookies) and bake for about 12 minutes, until lightly golden on top. Using a spatula, transfer to a wire baking sheet to cool completely. Repeat, as needed, until dough is all used up. Eat warm or package up for holiday gifting!
Notes This recipe makes a TON of cookies. How many batches you'll need depends on how big you make the cookies and how big your oven is. Cook time is for one batch of cookies. These cookies are adapted from a Lookabaugh family recipe!
