Servings 12

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup salted butter softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup red and green M&M’s
• 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl or a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth, light and fluffy. This will take a few minutes. It’s important to really get this mixture fluffy to have the best cookies.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl with your spatula and mix in the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter.
• Once completely combined, stop the mixer and add in the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.
• Start mixing slowly and adding in your flour. Once the flour mixture is about half way incorporated into the dough, pour the M&M’s and chocolate chips into the mixer and allow everything to mix together.
• Stop the mixer as soon as the flour is completely incorporated. Do not over mix.
• Measure out the dough into ⅓ cup portions of cookie dough for each cookie (I usually just do 1 cookie scooper amount). Form the dough together in a ball leaving the top jagged, for texture. Avoid packing the dough together tightly.
• Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookie dough has spread and the edges are turning golden brown.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 20 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
