How to make it

  • INSTRUCTIONS
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats.
  • Cream together the sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then beat in the peanut butter, vanilla, baking soda and salt until well combined.
  • Add the the oats and mix until combined, then add the mini M&Ms and mini-chocolate chips.
  • Scoop in one-tablespoon mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 minutes then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. (See Kelly's Note.)
  • NOTE:
  • The best way to guarantee your cookies are chewy and not too crispy is to underbake them slightly then remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheets.
  • The original recipe used a 2-3 tablespoon scoop; I used a 1-tablespoon scoop and still baked the cookies for 12 minutes. I made 48 cookies.
  • If you're using the candy eyes, add them to the cookies immediately after you remove them from the oven.
