These gnarly looking cookies are a mash up of choc chip, peanut butter and oatmeal cookies They're crispy on the edges and chewy inside, littered with bright M&M's and melty chocolate chips, and are as fun to make as they are to eat! Feel free to use any add-ins of choice, like toffee chips, nuts, dried fruit, 1 1/2 cups in total.

Gluten-free
- 150 g gluten-free plain flour instead of plain flour
- 135 g gluten-free rolled oats instead of rolled oats
