Bake at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes. If you'd like, you can sprinkle colored sugar on the cookies before baking, or decorate with frosting after cooled. Enjoy!

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup creamy unsweetened peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M's

Steps:

Put the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until the flour reaches a temperature of 180 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk to get rid of as many lumps as you can. Set it aside to cool.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, sugar, butter, heavy cream, vanilla and salt and mix on medium-high, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically with a rubber spatula to ensure that everything gets combined, until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the flour and oats and mix to combine. Add the M&M's and mix to combine. Store by the scoop or in balls in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
