Ingredients

2 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats *
1/4 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1/3 cup (3/4 stick) butter room temperature
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocoalte M&Ms
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat mats, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla. With mixing speed on low, add one egg at a time, mixing until incorporated.
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine oats, baking soda and salt. Whisk together. With mixing speed on low, add dry ingredients, mix until combined. Remove bowl from stand and fold in M&Ms, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Place dough in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
Remove dough from refrigerator and allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop cookies onto the prepared sheets using a standard size scoop, gently pat down to slightly flatten. Place in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes (they will look soft) before removing from oven. Allow to cool on sheets for 3 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

* Please make sure that your oats are gluten-free. Bob’s Red Mill Oats are gluten-free, Quaker Oats are not guaranteed to be gluten-free.

-DO NOT SKIP parchment or a mat… seriously, it really is a key part to making these cookies bake perfectly! Also be gentle with the cookies when you are transferring them to the rack to cool, they will probably break apart a little, but just push them back together and let them cool for a good hour or so and they’ll be firm and sturdy!
