# Ingredients:

→ For the Cookie Dough Balls

01 - 6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
02 - 2 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
03 - 3/4 cup peanut butter
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar
06 - 3/4 cup powdered sugar
07 - 1 cup quick cooking oats, uncooked
08 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
09 - 1 cup mini M&M's, divided
10 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
11 - 1/4 cup peanut butter chips

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, mix together the butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter until well combined and creamy.
02 - Add the vanilla extract, brown sugar, and powdered sugar. Mix until everything is combined and smooth.
03 - Add the oats and flour to the mixture. Mix until everything is combined and you have a thick cookie dough consistency.
04 - Fold in 1/2 cup of the M&M's, the mini chocolate chips, and the peanut butter chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
05 - Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of M&M's onto a plate. Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Roll each ball in the M&M's to coat the outside - it's fine to use more M&M's if you need them.
06 - Place the cookie dough balls on a plate or in a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before eating. Store in the refrigerator and enjoy these no-bake monster cookie treats!

# Notes:

01 - Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature so they mix easily.
02 - These are no-bake and safe to eat since there are no raw eggs.
03 - The chilling time helps them firm up and makes them easier to handle.
04 - You can use regular M&M's if you can't find mini ones - just chop them up a bit.
05 - These are perfect for parties, gifts, or whenever you want a sweet peanut butter treat.
06 - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
