¾cupcreamy peanut butter
1large egg,at room temperature
1tsppure vanilla extract
½tspbaking soda
1¼cupsall purpose flour,spoon and leveled
½cupquick oats
¾cupM&Ms,any size or variety
½cupsemisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla (in that order) to butter-sugar mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Slowly mix in the baking soda and flour. Do not over-mix.
At low speed, beat in the quick oats, M&Ms, and chocolate chips just until incorporated.
Rolls about 2 tablespoons of dough, onto prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra M&Ms on top for looks, if preferred.
Bake for 11 to 13 minutes– the cookies will still look a little soft, which is recommended. Slightly press down the baked cookies with the back of a spoon.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cookies will firm up as they cool.
Serve and enjoy.
