- 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.
Recipe Notes
If the dough is very soft and unmanageable by hand, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling.
