Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line sheet trays with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, mix well and set aside.
With a hand mixer in a large bowl or in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy, 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time. Then add in the vanilla, mix well.
Add the flour mixture in batches until thoroughly combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Next add the oats and mix. Lastly add the M&Ms and stir to combine.
With a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough on the lined sheet trays. Make sure the cookies are about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for a minute.
Using a spatula take cookies off the cookie sheet and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
