Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Eggs (large)
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Old-fashioned gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Mini M&Ms (gluten-free variety)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, or peanuts; optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer or by hand until it is light and creamy (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the wet mixture.

Step 5

Gradually add the gluten-free rolled oats, stirring until well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips, M&Ms, and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Using slightly damp hands or the back of a spoon, gently flatten the tops of each cookie slightly, as they won’t spread too much while baking.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
