Look at the comments on the source page (http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/10/ann-romneys-m-cookies.html) to find the Bipartisan Cookie recipe that combines Ann Romney and Michelle Obama's cookie recipes. LOL!

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1 Tbsp light corn syrup
• 3 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325°.

In a large bowl, cream sugars, butter, peanut butter and corn syrup on high speed until well combined. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Add vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, mix together oats and baking soda. Add to peanut butter mixture and stir until combined. Mix in chocolate chips and M&M's.

Using a standard-size ice cream scoop, drop dough onto baking sheets (about 9 per sheet).

Bake for 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
