INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 3 large eggs

• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter (smooth or chunky)

• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoons baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 4 1/2 cups oats (Old Fashioned or Quick)

• 1 cup mini M&Ms

• 1 cup mini-chocolate chips

• Candy eyes (optional)

PIN IT INSTRUCTIONS Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 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 2-to 3-tablespoon mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 12-15 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.) KELLY'S 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. If you're using the candy eyes, add them to the cookies immediately after you remove them from the oven.
