Warm, gooey cookies filled with rich chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and candy-coated chocolates. Perfect for sharing or indulging yourself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M’s)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, and candy-coated chocolates until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop small spoonfuls of peanut butter onto a plate and freeze for 10-15 minutes to make stuffing easier.
  6. Scoop out a portion of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Place a frozen peanut butter scoop in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges. Repeat for all cookies.
  7. Place the stuffed cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for thicker cookies. Use high-quality chocolate chips and peanut butter for better flavor. Freeze the peanut butter filling to prevent it from oozing out while baking.
