Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups (380g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 3 units large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4.5 cups (400g) quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup (200g) candy-coated chocolate (M&Ms)
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture looks pale and fluffy.
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the butter-sugar mixture and continue mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and light corn syrup. Mix until the wet base is well combined.
- Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the quick-cooking oats, folding them in until the 'flourless' dough is thick and cohesive.
- Gently fold in the candy-coated chocolates (M&Ms) and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
- Let the bowl sit in the fridge for 10 minutes until the oats have fully hydrated.
- Place 2 tablespoon mounds onto the prepared baking sheet until you have 12 even spheres
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. The edges should be lightly tanned but the center looks underdone.
- Let the cookies sit on the hot sheet for 5 minutes until they firm up enough to move.
- Transfer to a wire rack until they are room temperature and the chocolate has set.
