Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup M&M's
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 4 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats (Quick oats will work in a pinch.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper (or spray the sheet pans with cooking spray).
- In a large mixing bowl combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
- Stir in the M&Ms, chocolate chips, and the oats.
- Using a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop dough onto lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on size). They will appear a tad gooey but that's ok!
- Let cookies cool for at least 30 minutes on baking sheets before removing them.
Freezer Instructions
Freeze for Later: Scoop or shape the dough, place on a baking sheet to flash freeze, then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Or you can freeze baked cookies (remove as much air as possible) for up to 3 months.
Make from Frozen: Bake straight from frozen—just add 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
Notes/Tips
- You must let them cool down for at least 30 minutes before eating.
- Do not over bake. They will look undercooked at 10-12 minutes but take them out anyway!
- While oats are naturally gluten-free, oftentimes they're processed in a factory where cross-contamination can happen. Look for a "certified gluten-free" label on your oats, if avoiding all gluten is important to you.
- While it's tempting, don't worry about pressing the dough the down after scooping. They'll flatten out on their own.
