• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
• 3/4 cup (equivalent to 1 and 1/2 sticks) butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup M&Ms

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and quick cooking oats.

Set the dry ingredients aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and peanut butter until it’s all combined and set the wet ingredients aside.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Gently mix in the M&Ms.

Scoop about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of dough into balls, and place about 2 inches apart on parchment paper or a silicon pad.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are slightly brown.

The center of the cookies may look under baked but they will set as they cool.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes and then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
