Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter Choose smooth or crunchy based on preference.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar Packed brown sugar works best.
  • 3 large eggs Room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups rolled oats Do not use instant oats.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate.
  • 1 cup M&M candies Use any color for a fun effect.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the Peanut Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Blend until creamy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats and baking soda. Fold this mixture into your wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the Fun: Stir in the chocolate chips and M&M candies.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for about 30 minutes to improve texture. Experiment with different mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
