This is a family favorite! *There's some in the oven right now! (before it get's too hot!)

Oatmeal Brown Sugar Cookies
Prep: 30 min - Bake: 10 min

1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 cups uncooked quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (or chocolate chips)

Heat oven to 375°F. Combine brown sugar, butter and egg in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining cookie ingredients. Beat until well mixed. Stir in chocolate pieces by hand.

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown on edges. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.

Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies
