Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar packed
⅓ cup creamy peanut butter room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
2 large eggs room temperature
2 cups all purpose flour leveled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup old fashioned oats
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup valentine M&M’s plus more for topping
pinch flaky sea salt optional garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grab the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle and cream together the butter and both sugars.
Next, add peanut butter and vanilla bean paste and mix until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl and mix again to ensure the eggs are evenly mixed into the batter.
Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the bowl of the stand mixer and mix until just combined.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the oats, white chocolate, mini chocolate chips, and M&M candies. Mix on low until the ingredients are all incorporated. You do not want to over-mix.
Scoop out dough using a two-tablespoon cookie scoop and place about 1-1/2 to 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten the cookie dough and place additional M&M’s and mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake cookies in your preheated oven for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown.
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for two minutes, and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Optional: Sprinkle on some sea salt now if you'd like.

Notes

If you want to make your cookies perfectly round, use a drinking glass and place the mouth of the glass around the cookie, then gently swirl to round out your cookies.
