Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90 g) old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups M&M candies
- 1 ½ cups (252 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- mini M&M candies, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer), beat the butter on medium-high speed until smooth (about a minute).
- Add the peanut butter; beat for about 2 minutes, or until smooth.
- Add brown sugar and cream on medium-high speed until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat ingredients together again, if necessary.
- With the mixer off, add the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- With the mixer still on low (or by hand), add the M&M's and chocolate chips and mix until incorporated. (If using an electric mixer, only mix for a few seconds.)
- Drop spoonfuls (2-3 tablespoons) of dough onto the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. (If possible, measure the batter so the cookies are all the same size for best results when baking.) Top with mini m&m's (optional).
- Place the baking sheets of unbaked cookies into the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. (If letting the dough chill overnight, be sure to cover.)
- When ready, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. The cookies are done when the sides are lightly browned and the centers still look soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
