1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.

2. Beat in Add the salt, vanilla, peanut butter, and butter.
4
3. Beat in baking soda, and oatmeal
5
4. Put in fridge for 30 min (unsure if this is needed, but some people said the dough was too sticky, I did this and it was perfect, also try upping the oatmeal)
6
5. Divide dough if you plan to make different kinds of cookies.
7
6. Mix in candy. It is possible to over do this step but if you its ok see below.
8
7. Drop cookies on pan, and try and get them to stick together as much as possible. You can do balls larger than a tablespoon and they come out great. Flatten cookies a little. Then with the excess candy, insert into the dough on top so the cookies are candy coated as well. Note: This cookies do not spread that that much, so even space is not a huge issue.

8. Bake for 9 minutes. Be sure they come out still a little doughy looking! Let stand for a few minutes then transfer to wire racks.

9. If using the next day, store unrefrigerated (so they stay softer) in an air tight container.
