Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a very large mixing bowl, blend the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, softened butter, and crunchy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well-combined using an electric mixer.
3
Gently fold in the oatmeal, M&M's, and chocolate chips with a spatula or by hand, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.

If the dough feels too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 30 minutes or add an additional 1/2 to 1 cup of oatmeal to achieve the desired consistency.
5
Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, portion out balls of dough and place them on ungreased baking sheets, giving ample space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
