Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl with a hand or stand mixer, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugar on medium-high speed for a couple minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl.

Step 4

Mix in the vanilla, molasses, and egg until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl and give it another mix.

Step 5

Toss in the dry ingredients and mix just until the dough comes together. Remove from the mixer and fold in the M&M’s and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.

Step 6

Using a large cookie scoop (2oz) scoop 5-6 cookies onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. If using a regular cookie scoop, bake for 12-15 minutes.

Step 7

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple minutes, then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.

Step 8

Enjoy!

Chef’s notes

*MOLASSES – You can’t actually taste the molasses in these cookies. It just helps to enhance the flavors and create a chewy-gooey texture.

**VEGAN EGG – Sub one whole egg with one flax egg = 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 2 1/2 tbsp water. Let it sit and gel for 5 minutes before use.
