Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter Crisco
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups quick oats
  • 1 cup M&Ms
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, cream together Crisco, peanut butter, sugars and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition.
  5. Mix in flour half a cup at a time.
  6. Mix in the oats. Fold in the M&Ms and chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop cookie dough by rounded tablespoon onto your prepared baking sheet.  Make sure dough balls are about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes. You can add extra M&Ms and chocolate chips to the top right after removing from the oven, before cooling, to make the cookies look better and help ensure that each one has a somewhat even number of mix-ins. Enjoy!
