Ann Romney's Oatmeal M&M Cookies are made with oats, peanut butter and candy. They also go by the name Monster Cookies. They're delicious, and I've made them about a zillion times since the recipe was posted.

Like most Monster Cookies recipes, Ann Romney's Oatmeal M&M Cookies do not call for any flour so they are easy to make gluten-free. Just make sure any candies you use don't contain hidden wheat and that the oats are approved gluten-free.

Oatmeal Snickers Cookies

I recently came up with a variation on Ann Romney's Oatmeal M&M recipe and am calling the cookies Oatmeal Snickers Cookies. All you do is replace the candy with chopped up Snickers bars. The Snickers melt a bit so the cookies spread more. What you get are very thin, very chewy oatmeal cookies that taste like Snickers Bars. I lost track of how many Snickers I used, but they were fun size and I froze them before chopping. You can always find inexpensive packs of Snickers at Dollar Tree.

Here's the recipe for Ann Romney's Oatmeal MM Cookies. If you try them or the Snickers variation, let me know!
