In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup butter. Blend until well mixed.

Add 1/2 cup peanut butter and mix until combined.

Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 cups oats, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and baking soda.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined.

Fold in 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 3/4 cup M&M's gently with a spatula.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about an inch between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
