Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 cup creamy, no-stir peanut butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup M&Ms
Make the Cookie Dough
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a large bowl with a hand mixer, or in a stand mixer, beat the room-temperature butter with the dark brown sugar and cane sugar on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the peanut butter and beat on medium speed until it’s well combined. Then, mix in the eggs and vanilla bean paste on low speed until they’re just incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until a dough starts to form. Fold in the oats with a spatula until they’re evenly distributed. Then, add the chocolate chips and M&Ms and fold until they’re mixed in.
Chill and Bake the Cookies
Cover the bowl and let the dough chill for 1-2 hours.
When you’re about ready to bake, get your oven preheating to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into large balls – about 4 tablespoons each – and place them on the baking sheet, leaving a good 3-4 inches of space between them.
Bake for 14-15 minutes. The edges should be set and golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before you move them to a wire rack.
