Oatmeal Jumbos
This recipe makes a peanut butter version of oatmeal cookies with added peanuts and M&M's.
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
- 1½ cups brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- ¾ cup chopped peanuts
- 1½ cups M&M's
- additional M&M's and peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the peanut butter and butter until smooth (about 30 seconds). Add the sugars, baking powder and baking soda; beat until combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Stir in the oats, peanuts and M&M's.
- Place heaping spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving a couple of inches in between cookies.
- Bake 13 to 16 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. If you've made smaller cookies, check them after about 10 minutes.
- Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you'd like the cookies to look 'visually' more attractive, stick a few more peanuts and M&M's onto the top of each glob of dough.
- If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, just be sure to use brands of peanut butter, oats, vanilla and M&M's that are known to be GF.

made a version of this recipe for years. no m & m’s. just chocolate chips and/ or expensive 85% chocolate. no peanuts. toasted pecans. super high quality vanilla. My theory, if you’re gonna go to this trouble, go big or go home!
OMG! I have been craving oatmeal cookies. I’m making them this weekend for sure. : )
Absolutely gorgeous! I could stash a bunch of these in my bag and eat them ALL DAY LONG.
I think you need to mail me one of those. Or two. Or all of them.
