Amish Chunky M&M Cookies (flourless)
These delightful oatmeal and peanut butter cookies are stuffed with gooey chocolate chunks and colorful M&Ms. The best part about these cookies is that they can be made gluten free because they are completely flourless!
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter creamy
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats *see note for GF
- 4 oz. chocolate bar of your choice, finely chopped. I prefer Hershey's chocolate bars
- 1 cup M&Ms
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs and peanut butter, then mix well until the mixture is fluffy and well incorporated. Stir in the baking soda, then fold in the oats, M&Ms and chocolate chunks.
- Chill the cookie dough for 30-60 minutes to reduce spreading while baking (optional). Once chilled, drop the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls (or with an ice cream scoop) onto a greased cookie sheet, keeping the cookies several inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the bottoms and edges are starting to brown and the centers are set. Allow the cookies to rest for 5-10 minutes, then remove them from the baking sheets and enjoy!
Notes
If you wish to make this recipe gluten free, be sure to use rolled oats that are specified to be gluten free.
I prefer to use parchment paper to line the cookie sheets or a butter wrapper to grease my cookie sheets with, but you can also use cooking spray.
