Monster cookies: all of my favorite foods combined into one cookie. Chewy oats, creamy salty peanut butter, and sweet melty chocolate. Soft and chewy all the way; never dry or crispy.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Using a stand or hand-held mixer, beat butter, peanut butter and sugars together until creamy. Add in eggs and vanilla extract and mix on medium-high speed until combined. Add in oats, salt, and baking soda and mix on low setting until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M's by hand.

Notes
*either quick oats or old fashioned/rolled oats work. I typically use quick oats for this recipe
**I use whatever chips/M&M's I have on hand...I do like using mini though for more chocolate in every bite!
