Layer flour, baking soda, salt, oats, candy pieces, brown sugar, sugar and peanuts in a 1-quart glass jar with airtight seal. Cover; decorate jar as desired.
Heat oven to 350°F. Combine butter, egg and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes). Add dry ingredients from jar. Stir by hand until well mixed.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls or drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
