Make This Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 large Eggland's Best eggs, at room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats

1 cup patriotic m&ms (red, blue & white)

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer on high speed until well creamed. Add the creamy peanut butter and mix until it is thoroughly combined with the butter.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl, and mix on high speed for at least 1 minute until well creamed with the butter and peanut butter. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix on low speed just until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the dough. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
  5. Using a spatula, fold in the old-fashioned rolled oats, patriotic M&M's, and semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving approximately two inches of space between each one.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 - 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown at the edges and have a soft interior. Keep in mind that the cookies will continue to cook slightly while cooling.
