Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • cup quick cooking oats
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup M&Ms

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in peanut butter, eggs and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, and baking soda. Add to large bowl and stir until combined. Add oats, chocolate chips and M&Ms.
  • Press into greased pan. Add additional M&Ms to the top, if desired, pressing them into the dough slightly.
  • Bake for 14 - 16 minutes or until edges are slightly brown or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake. Let cool a bit before slicing. Letting them cool completely is best. But its almost impossible to wait that long.

Notes

I use salted butter to make this recipe. If you prefer to use unsalted butter, you might want to add a pinch of salt to this recipe.
