Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup red and green holiday M&M’s (reserve 1/4 cup for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat for 1 more minute until well combined.
  3. Fold in oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined.

  5. Cover the dough and chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 365°F (185°C). Scoop dough onto a light-colored baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 9–10 minutes until edges are set but centers appear slightly underbaked.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately press remaining M&M’s into the tops of the cookies.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
