Cookie week continues at our house with this easy monster cookie recipe. here is another favorite festive cookie Jamie makes every year.

These cookies are made with oatmeal and peanut butter and there is no flour added. These cookies will be gluten-free only if you use the gluten-free oatmeal.

Jamie makes these festive by using the red and green M&Ms. These cookies are a treat any time of the year and oh! so easy to make.

Tyler is helping by rolling the mixture into large balls and placing them on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

On the cookie sheet and ready for the oven. Tyler used about 2-heaping tablespoons each to rolls these out.
