Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup mini M&M's candies
• 1/2 cup mini (opt.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
2. Add the brown sugar & white sugar, creaming together until fluffy.
3. Add in the eggs and vanilla, beating well.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the baking soda, salt, cornstarch, and flour, until combined.
5. Then add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients.
6. Stir in the oats, M&M's, chocolate chips, and butterscotch until just combined.
7. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours, up to overnight. (we refrigerate overnight)
8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners.
9. Drop heaping 1/4 cup-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheets, about 2-3" apart.
10. Bake for approximately 12-14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking time to ensure even cooking. Cookies may appear slightly undone in the center; this is normal and they'll continue to set as they cool.
11. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes then transfer to racks.
