Ingredients

  • 2 cups assorted candies, chopped (I like Reese's, Twix, Hershey's chocolate, Milk Duds, M&M's, etc.)
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick or 113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup (129g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (94g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Chop candy into small pieces if necessary.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • With the mixer on the lowest speed, add in the egg.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Sift to remove lumps.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Stir in the oats and all candies by hand.
  • Use a medium ice cream scoop (2-3 tablespoons) and scoop out cookie dough balls. Place about 6 on each baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown and the top still looks slightly undercooked.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
