Smartie Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup softened margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup Smarties

Cream Sugars and margarine. Add vanilla and eggs. Add remaining ingredients except smarties. Stir well. Mix in smarties. Roll into balls and bake for 8-10 minutes. I always use parchment paper... it helps them from browning too much. Don't overbake!! They may not look quite done, but will continue to cook a bit as they cool. After taking the pan from the oven I drop it on the counter.. no setting it down gently! This helps them get nice and chewy. Remove from pans and let cool completely on the counter.
Makes 4 dozen.
