Fourth of July Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened in microwave
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 4 cups oatmeal
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 2 ounces M&Ms plain chocolate candy, navy blue colored
• 2 ounces M&Ms plain chocolate candy, white colored
• 2 ounces red-hot candies

Directions

1. 1

   Mix all ingredients in a food processor or mixer, except for chocolate chips, M&M's and red hots, which could get crushed; stir in the chocolate chips by hand.

2. 2

   Drop by tablespoons on an ungreased cookie sheet (I use a scoop which makes it so easy); then press 2-3 white M&M's, 2-3 blue M&M's and 3-4 red hots on the top of each cookie.

3. 3

   Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until just starting to turn brown; cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from cookie sheet to avoid breakage.
