Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed (dark also works)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup plain M&Ms
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar for about 4 minutes or until creamy and pale. Add the vanilla and beat again. Then add the egg and beat until smooth. Add the peanut butter and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, cornstarch and gently whisk together. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet and gently fold together. Add the rolled oats, M&M's and chocolate chips and stir until combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Grab cookie dough from the fridge. The dough will still be a bit sticky but it should be firm enough to roll balls using your hands.
- Line the balls (approximately 1 heaped tablespoon) of cookie dough onto the prepared trays and then flatten slightly using your hand or a spatula, as they wont spread out as much as a normal cookie would. Press a few extra M&M’s and chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave the cookies to cool slightly before gently moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
