Categories: Dessert, cookies

Ingredients

• 3 c. peanut butter (I use creamy)
• 2 c. brown sugar
• 2 c. sugar
• 1 c. butter, softened
• 6 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. vanilla
• 4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 9 c. oats (the recipe calls for quick oats, I used half quick and half rolled oats)
• 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 c. M&M’s (+ save a few to place on the top of each cookie before baking)

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350º.

2. Cream peanut butter, sugars and butter until fluffy. In separate small bowl, beat eggs with the vanilla, salt and the soda. Be sure that all of soda is dissolved. Pour egg mixture into peanut butter mixture and mix until well combined. Add oats and mix thoroughly. Stir in chips and M&M’s. Place ¼ c. scoops of dough on parchment lined/ or lightly greased cookie sheet. With your palm, flatten dough to create a flat surface. Add 3-4 M&M’s to decorate. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges appear slightly browned. Middle will appear doughy but they will cook more as they return to room temperature.
