Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup M&Ms
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats and peanut butter until evenly distributed.
Fold in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For chewier cookies, do not overbake.
You can customize the mix-ins with your favorite candies or nuts.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
