M&M's

🥗Healthier: dried fruit

💰Cheaper: chocolate-covered raisins

Dried fruit provides natural sweetness without added sugars.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: oat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Add room temperature butter and smooth peanut butter to a bowl and beat them together with a spoon.

Add white sugar and brown sugar to the creamed mix and mix well, using a hand mixer or by hand.

Crack in eggs and add vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

Add oats, salt, and baking soda to the mixture and mix to form a soft dough.

Fold in M&M’s and chocolate chips into the dough.

Chill the dough in the fridge for around 1 hour to firm it up.

Scoop a heaped tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place it on a baking tray.

Heat a non-stick heavy bottom saucepan on medium-low for about 5 minutes before adding the cookie dough.

Place the cookies in the heated pan and cover with a lid or baking tray, cooking for 15 to 20 minutes on low heat.

After 17 minutes, check the cookies; they should be brown on the bottom and set on top.

Gently remove cookies from the pan with a spatula and place them on a cooling rack.
