Ingredients

  • butter
    ½ c
  • granulated sugar
    ½ c
  • light brown sugar
    ½ c
  • peanut butter
    ½ c
  • egg
    1
  • vanilla extract
    1 tsp
  • all-purpose flour
    1 c
  • old-fashioned rolled oats
    1 ¼ c
  • salt
    ¼ tsp
  • baking powder
    ½ tsp
  • baking soda
    ½ tsp
  • m&m candies
    ¾ c
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips
    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Cream the butter and sugar together really well—at least 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add peanut butter and mix well. Add egg and vanilla and mix.

  4. 4

    In a separate mixing bowl stir together the flour (be careful to measure correctly, spooning the flour into a measuring cup, then leveling off), oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

  5. 5

    Add to the wet mixture and mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s.

  6. 6

    Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or a little longer if you make them bigger than a 1 inch cookie scoop. Don't over bake--they will look just set. 

  7. 7

    Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan.
