When I was younger, my mother and I would bake holiday cookies for her friends and colleagues; and once I was on my own, I set out to recreate that tradition for the people in my life.

However, last year, I could not bring myself to endure we week of baking and cleaning.  So, instead, I gave everyone jars full of hot chocolate or cookie dough mix. I thought this worked out really well. It was easy and had minimal clean up!

That’s why a recent post on Bakerella caught my attention. These colorful oatmeal chocolate chip and M&M cookies are the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen! Perfect for just-because and holiday gifts or as edible party favors, they are something I will definitely be trying!

Here at Tiny Prints, we love to find any reason to celebrate—especially when that celebration involves some of our favorite desserts! Since today is National Oatmeal Cookie Day, we wanted to help encourage readers everywhere to break out the pots and pans to give your family a sweet (and somewhat healthy) treat!

Try out this scrumptious recipe from Sunny Anderson from the Food Network for a fun twist on a classic cookie:
