  • Total Time: 28 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (114 grams) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup (180 grams) peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup Christmas M&M's, mini or regular (plus more for the top)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini or regular (plus more for the top)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking tray.
  • Cream the softened butter with light brown and white sugars until fluffy.
  • Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  • Gradually add flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt; mix gently.

Ensure butter is softened for the best texture.
Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool.
Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties for a fun twist.
