Total Time:Prep:15 mins. +standing time. Bake:15 mins.
Yield:Approx. 2 1/2 dozen
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups of packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup M&M's

1 cup salted peanuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
1--In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter, and sugars. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add baking soda and vanilla. Add oats, M&M's, butterscotch chips, and peanuts; let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in flour. Dough will be crumbly.
2--Shape 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets, about 9 cookies on each sheet. Gently flatten cookies.
3--Bake at 325* for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
**The last time I made these I cut back on the oatmeal by 1/4 cup and we thought they were better.
**Sometimes I use chocolate chips instead of butterscotch and other times I do a combo. of 1/2 cup chocolate and 1/2 cup butterscotch.
**For added color, I press a few extra M&M's on top for added color. Can use the holiday colored M&M's for the different holidays if you want.
