Equipment
- oven adjusted to center rack position
- Measuring Cups & spoons
- stand mixer
- 2 medium baking sheets
- parchment paper
- 2-tablespoon sized cookie scoop
Ingredients
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- ½ cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda
- 1¼ cups Old-fashioned oats
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Spring M&MS
- ¼ cup raisins
- ½ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line two medium baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, oats, and salt.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add in the egg, extract, and peanut butter, and beat until creamy and fluffy.
- Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips.
- Using a 2-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the parchment-lined cookie sheet; gently press them down.
- Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will be lightly golden brown, and feel slightly firm. It is okay if they feel a little under baked as they will firm up as they cool.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and cool for 10 minutes.
- Repeat baking until all cookies are done-enjoy!
