Ingredients
  • ¾ cup butter flavored shortening, like Crisco
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 4 cups rolled oats**
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cups raisins
  • 1 cup mini M&Ms
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350* and line cookie sheets with a parchment paper and set aside
  2. In a mediums size bowl, mix together oats, baking soda, and salt, set aside
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy
  4. Add the vanilla extract and 1 egg at a time until fully combined with the mixer on medium-low followed by both the creamy and crunchy peanut butter
  5. Scrape down the sides and prepare to add the dry ingredients
  6. Add the dry ingredients (the oat-mixture) in three separate additions, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next
  7. Add the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and raisins
  8. Gently fold in the mini M&Ms (or combine them with the mixer on low) so as not to break the M&M shells
  9. Using a 2-ounce scoop, place mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, allowing about 2 inches between each dough placement
  10. Using the palm of your hand or the flat bottom of a glass, press down on the cookie dough mounds until they are about half their original size
  11. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until golden brown
  12. Once baked, let the cookies cool for an additional 3-5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
  13. Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months
Notes
**Ensure the oats are Rolled Oats. These are not the same as Quick Oats and they are not Steel Cut Oats.
