• Ready In: 18mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 18

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 1⁄2 cups peanut butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 4 1⁄2 cups rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 1 cup smarties candies or 1 cup raisins

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients making sure all ingredients are blended well.
3. Add in remaining ingredients. Blend well.
4. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
5. Using a 1/3 measuring cup, scoop out your cookie dough and place on the parchment paper.
6. Press the centre of the cookie dough a bit with the back of a spoon. They will spread out to almost 5-6 inches per cookie so make sure you have lots of room on the cookie sheet for them to bake.
7. Bake for 13-17 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the cookie sheet. With carry over cooking, they continue to bake for another 5 minutes while cooling out of the oven. This is what gives them the chewy consistency.
8. Store in an airtight container.
