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. Betcha can’t stop at just one!

Cuisine: American
Serves: 16-20
Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter*
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup quick or rolled/old-fashioned oats
  • ½-3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup mini MnM’s
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 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 MnM's by hand.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees about 8-11 minutes, depending on size and desired doneness. Enjoy!
Notes
*This recipe works best with a shelf-stable peanut butter, such as Jif. I have not had as good success with natural peanut butter (with just peanuts + salt as ingredients). See post above for more details.
