Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time7 mins
Total Time22 mins
Course: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Servings: 24 servings
Calories: 160kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter unsalted softened
  • 1/2 Cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 Cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 Cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 Cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 Cup m&m minis
  • 1/2 Cup quick oats

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the butter and sugars with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add in the peanut butter, egg and vanilla, mixing to combine after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the baking soda and flour. Gradually add in the dry mixture to the wet mixture until thoroughly combined. Scrap down the sides as needed, add in the m&ms and oats. Mix in the m&ms and oats with a spoon so you don't break up the candies.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat. Using a teaspoon sized scoop or spoon, scoop out the cookies and roll into a ball. Flatten the tops of the cookies so they spread evenly, add more m&ms on top for looks if desired.
  • Bake for 6-7 minutes, they will not look fully done but they are. When they come out of the oven, use the back of a spoon and gently flatten out the cookies. Let sit on try for about 3 minutes then transfer to wired rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!

I knew these cookies were going to be good but they were even better than expected! You really get a great chocolate flavor then the slight nuttiness from the peanut butter hits you. With the oats added it gives a nice texture, I really love these cuties!
