Servings: 20 cookies
Calories: 212kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup peanut butter smooth and unsalted
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup red and green M&M's
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 cookie sheets with unbleached parchment paper. In a large bowl, add butter, peanut butter and sugar, then beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, beat until combined.
- Add baking soda, salt, oat flour, oats and beat until cookie dough forms. Add candies and chocolate chips, and stir with a spatula.
- Scoop a heaping amount of dough with medium cookie scoop (my cookie dough balls weigh 1.5 oz) or a heaping tablespoon, and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets 2-3 inches apart and flatten a bit. Cookies spread but not like regular ones.
- Bake for 10 minutes and remove while cookies appear underbaked, puffy and light in color. Let cookies cool on a baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring onto a cooling rack to cool more.
Notes
- Store: Store in a container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Bake, cool cookies completely, place in a resealable plastic bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw on a counter for a few hours.
- Butter: Softened butter means a dent appears when you touch it with a finger. To soften butter, just leave it at room temperature for 3-4 hours. To speed up softening, cut up in cubes. If you use salted butter, omit salt. I also do not recommend coconut oil because cookies will be cake-y.
- Sugar: I recommend white sugar. I tested coconut sugar and cookies were a bit more cakey but you can.
- All-purpose flour: Replace 1 cup of oat flour with 2/3 cup of regular flour or just weight 88 grams of wheat flour on kitchen scales for the most accurate measurements.
