1 cup butter, softened

1 ½ cups packed brown sugar

½ cup sugar

2 eggs

1 Tbsp vanilla

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup flour

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1 cup baking cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350*. In a stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter, mixing until well blended. In a bowl, whisk flour, oats, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together. Spoon over the batter, then top with chocolate chips, and M&M’s. Turn the mixer on low and mix until just incorporated. Drop by 1 ½ tablespoonfuls onto parchment or silpat-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes.
