- In a second bowl, combine oats, flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and stir into butter mixture.
- Stir in the M&M's.

Notes
To freeze unbaked cookies, form the dough balls and place on baking sheets as directed. Do not flatten. Place baking sheets in the freezer for 3 hours, or until dough is completely frozen. Transfer frozen dough to storage bags or containers (dough can be stored by stacking them in layers separated by wax or parchment paper and sealing them in a covered airtight container). Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
To cook from frozen, place frozen dough on cookie sheets as directed. Let thaw as you preheat oven. Flatten individual dough balls and bake as above.
