Peanut Butter M&M Oatmeal Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour

  (bleached flour toughens baked goods)

• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter

  softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar

  firmly packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups quick-cooking oats

  (I used old-fashioned oats)

  chopped, or walnuts
• 3 cups Peanut Butter M&Ms

  (one and-a-half 11.4-ounce bags)

  eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

• 6 Stir in flour, coconut, peanut butter M&Ms, oatmeal and pecans until thoroughly
  mixed; this may take 4-5 minutes.

  dough onto a cookie sheet.
