Ingredients
- ▢1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ▢1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ▢1 cup granulated white sugar
- ▢3 large eggs
- ▢2 teaspoons baking soda
- ▢1/2 teaspoon salt
- ▢1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ▢1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ▢1½ cups gluten-free creamy peanut butter
- ▢4½ cups gluten-free quick-cooking oats
- ▢1 cup gluten-free chocolate chips
- ▢1 cup gluten-free M&M’s plain chocolate candies
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with gluten-free nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix until fully combined. Stir in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Add the gluten-free peanut butter and mix until smooth. Gradually fold in the gluten-free oats until fully combined. Stir in the M&M’s and chocolate chips.
Using a greased ice cream scoop, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, slightly flattening the dough with the scoop. For smaller cookies, use a greased cookie scoop and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Top the cookies with extra M&M’s and chocolate chips before baking. Bake for 18 minutes for soft cookies or 20 minutes for crispier ones.
Let cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
