- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until creamy.
- Stir in the baking soda and oats until fully incorporated.
- Gently mix in the chocolate chips and M&M's, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For maximum chewiness, do not overbake. Consider chilling the dough for an hour for improved texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
