Easter Oatmeal Cookies

Easter is this weekend! So I wanted to share a recipe I made a few years ago to celebrate. Enjoy these delicious oatmeal cookies, which include Easter colored M&Ms. Makes for a perfect dessert to snack on for Easter weekend.

This time of year you should easily be able to find Easter colored M&Ms and other Easter treats. My local Publix had these M&Ms but you should also be able to easily find them at Walmart, Target and other locations. These cookies were a favorite when I made them! We didn't have any leftovers after my sister and her significant other visited for an Easter celebration. It was 78° where I was living in Florida at the time, so we turned on some alternative spring music and sat by the pool. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year! I love the pastel colors, the green and yellow colors everywhere. Especially when the daffodils start to pop up, because daffodils are my favorite flower! I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we did! They make a great addition to any Easter celebration and kids love them just as much as adult do! Happy Easter Sunday everyone! Below, you will find a written recipe to follow, I have also included a recipe card further down the page, that way you can print and enjoy this recipe anytime you wish. Enjoy!
