Ingredients

• 1 cup, softened unsalted butter
• 1 cup, packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup M&M's
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the creamy peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, M&M's, and chopped nuts (if using) using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a medium-sized cookie scoop or spoon, drop mounds of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. Enjoy!
