Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup M&Ms, plus extra for topping
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment. Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat until smooth.
  2. Mix in baking soda, salt, and oats. Fold in M&Ms and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  3. Drop 2-tablespoon scoops of dough onto sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden.
  4. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Press extra M&Ms onto warm cookies.

Notes

The cookies will look slightly underdone in the center when you take them out; they firm up as they cool. For a polished look, press a few extra M&Ms onto the tops right after baking while the cookies are still hot.
