Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar (200 grams)
  • ½ cup butter, softened (salted) (114 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup such as Karo
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (or quick)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • cup M&M's candies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with nonstick foil or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat sugars, butter, peanut butter and corn syrup on high speed until creamy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together oats and baking soda. Stir into peanut butter mixture until combined. Mix in chocolate chips and M&M's.
  • Using about a ¼ cup measure, drop dough onto baking sheets spacing at least 3 inches apart. Alternatively, you can shape the dough mounds, put on a plate, then cover and chill. This way you can bake when needed.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F for 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
