Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (258 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (90 g) old fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup Easter peanut butter M&M's eggs, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
