Ingredients
Directions
- Start by turning your oven on to 350°F. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, and softened butter together until the mixture becomes pale and airy.
- Add the eggs individually, mixing well after each addition. Once incorporated, stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until everything is thoroughly blended.
- Fold in the oats until no dry streaks remain. Then, stir in the mini M&Ms and mini-chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Use a scoop or spoon to drop 2-to-3-tablespoon portions of dough onto your prepared sheets. Make sure to leave at least 2 inches of space between each mound.
- Place the trays in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. After removing them from the heat, let the cookies rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
