The classic bake-sale cookie: oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and candy-coated chocolates, with candy eyes pressed in while warm. Crisp edges, chewy middles, and exactly the right amount of ridiculous.

24 servings or type

½ cup Unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup Creamy peanut butter

1 cup Light brown sugar, packed

½ cup Granulated sugar

2 Large eggs

2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

3 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup All-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Baking soda

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

1 cup Chocolate chips

1 cup Candy-coated chocolates

48 Candy eyeballs

Steps

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two rimmed baking pans with parchment paper.
Beat the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Stir in the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and candy-coated chocolates.
Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds 2 inches apart. Bake 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft. Press candy eyes into the warm cookies.
Cool on the pans 5 minutes, then move to a rack. Makes about 24 cookies.

Tip: Underbake slightly — they finish setting on the pan. The eyes stick best in the first minute out of the oven.
