Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup M&M candies
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
  • Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the oats, M&M candies, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using).
  • Form the Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is fine as they will set while cooling.
  • Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
