Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) (113.5 g) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large (2 large) eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (253 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (2 g) baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (1 g) cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
- 1½ cups (146 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (200 g) mini M&Ms
- 1 cup (190 g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time, and then the vanilla. Mix well, then add the peanut butter, and mix until fully combined. (Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed)
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated.
- Stir in the oats, M&Ms, and chocolate chips.
- Place dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. I recommend using a large cookie scoop but a smaller one works as well!
- Bake at 350°F until the edges start to turn a light golden color (about 10-14 minutes).
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
