2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup quick-cooking oats

4 ounces white chocolate squares, melted

1/4 cup miniature M&Ms baking bits

1. Heat oven to 350-F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.

2. Beat butter, both sugars and vanilla mixer bowl on medium-high speed until light and creamy, 2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture is fluffy. At low speed, beat in ingredients just until blended. Stir in oats and chips.

3. Divide dough into thirds. Place each piece in the center of its own large ungreased cookie sheet. Press each piece with floured fingers to a 6-inch circle. Bake 17 to 19 minutes, until cookies are browned and set. Cool on cookie sheets 5 minutes. With large spatula, transfer each cookie to wire racks; cool completely. Repeat, baking remaining dough.

4. With a fork, drizzle half of melted chocolate over cookies; then divide and sprinkle baking bits over tops. Drizzle cookies with remaining chocolate; let set.
