Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together the wet ingredients until smooth: peanut butter, melted butter/ghee, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
Next stir in the oats, baking soda and cinnamon. Finally add in all of your mix-ins: M&Ms, dark chocolate chips, nuts and shredded coconut.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between them to spread. Add a few M&Ms on top of each dough ball. If you like fat cookies, do not flatten the dough. If you like thinner cookies, use your hands to gently flatten the tops of the dough before baking.
Bake for 10-13 minutes until edges are barely golden brown. Allow cookies to sit on cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. This is an important step. Enjoy!

Notes

To make vegan: I suggest using a flax egg; they just might be a little more fragile so let them rest on the baking sheet a bit longer before removing them. You'll also need to use dairy free/vegan chocolate chips and vegan chocolate candies instead of M&M's.
To make nut free: Try subbing in sunflower seed butter or pumpkin seed butter. Sometimes sunflower seed butter causes baked goods to turn green FYI; they'll still be good to eat though.
