• 4.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is thoroughly mixed in before adding the next.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and peanut butter to the mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats and baking soda.

Step 6

Gradually add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well to ensure a uniform dough.

Step 7

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, unsalted roasted peanuts, and mini chocolate candies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
