What You Need
Our Thermomix M&M, Oat & Peanut Butter Cookies are PACKED full of delicious add-ins!
Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.
- Butter - use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe
- Sugars - we use a combination of caster sugar and brown sugar which gives the cookies the perfect balance of soft chewiness on the inside and crunchiness on the outside!
- Peanut Butter - choose a smooth and creamy store-bought peanut butter for this recipe. As much as we love to make our own homemade peanut butter in the Thermomix, the creamy store-bought versions work better in this recipe.
- Egg - 1 large egg, at room temperature
- Vanilla Extract - or vanilla essence
- Bi-Carbonate Soda - this is the rising agent in the cookies.
- Plain Flour - also known as all purpose flour.
- Oats - I recommend using quick oats as they hold together better than rolled oats.
- M&Ms - for the ultimate chocolate crunch and a pop of colour!
- Chocolate Chips - use milk, dark or white chocolate chips - the choice is yours!

Step 1 - Cream The Butter & Sugars
Insert the Butterfly attachment into the Thermomix bowl.
Add the softened butter and the sugars and mix until smooth and creamy.
TIP: Scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through mixing.
Step 2 - Whip The Remaining Wet Ingredients
With the Butterfly still in place, add the peanut butter, egg and vanilla extract and whip until creamy.
TIP: Scrape down the sides of the bowl partway through mixing.
Step 3 - Add The Flour & Bi-Carb Soda
Remove the Butterfly attachment.
Add the plain flour and bi-carb soda to the bowl and mix to combine.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 4 - Mix Through The Add-Ins
Place the quick oats, M&Ms and chocolate chips and mix on REVERSE.
Use the spatula to help mix.
Step 5 - Roll Into Balls
Take tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls on flat baking trays lined with baking paper.
Step 6 - Bake
Bake the cookies for 10 minutes (do NOT overcook - we want them to be soft on the inside!).
Allow to cool on the baking trays for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Insert the Butterfly attachment for the first two steps. This allows you to cream the mixture into a light, fluffy and smooth mixture.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before mixing - this will ensure that it creams perfectly.
- Once you've added the add-ins, ensure you use the REVERSE function so that the M&Ms and chocolate chips remain whole.
- Quick oats work better than rolled oats as they stay together better.
- Do NOT overbake the cookies! We want them to be soft on the inside! They will still be soft on the top once they've finished baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Alternatively, freeze the unbaked dough for up to 3 months, or the baked cookies for up to 1 month.
FAQS
The Butterfly attachment is a standard attachment that comes with the purchase of all Thermomix machines. It clicks into place on top of the blades and helps to cream/whip the mixture.
Once the chocolate chips and M&Ms have been added, it's important to use the REVERSE function, so that the blades stir rather than chop. This ensures that the M&Ms and chocolate chips stay whole.

Absolutely delicious! It’s hard to stop at one! We reduced the sugar and they turned out beautifully.

Made gluten free ones today and came out pretty well. Edges didn't brown but took them out anyway as gluten free is always crumbly. Were delish.
