Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup M&M candies
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2Cream the butter and sugar together really well—at least 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- 3Add peanut butter and mix well. Add egg and vanilla and mix.
- 4In 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.
- 5Add to the wet mixture and mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s.
- 6Bake 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.
- 7Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the pan.
