The Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Then add the oats, stirring until well combined.
Step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer and using a paddle attachment, cream the butter until smooth and pale in color; add the sugars and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
Step 3
Scrape down the bowl and add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth and scraping down after each egg is added.
Step 4
Add the corn syrup and vanilla and mix again until just incorporated.
Step 5
Scrape down the bowl again and add the peanut butter, mixing until combined. Add the oats in three batches to allow for better mixing.
Step 6
Remove bowl from mixer and fold in M&Ms and other candies. Usually I use more than suggested, because why not?
Step 7
Preheat oven to 375° F, line baking sheets with parchment and scoop generous balls of dough (roughly 2 tbsp) spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are just beginning to brown.
Step 8
If you can't fit all the cookies in your oven, keep the dough in the fridge between batches to keep it cool.
