Peanut Butter M&Ms Cookie Recipe (So Easy)

Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

The silky peanut butter cookie dough in these Peanut Butter M&M Cookies is sprinkled with rich Peanut Butter M&Ms. The recipe for these cookies is ideal for peanut butter lovers.

If you have never had a Peanut Butter M&M, they are similar to Reese's Pieces but larger and creamier.

They were given to me by a friend, and I was both ecstatic and horrified at how wonderful they are.

I believe these are the best M&M ever.

Amazing textures and a strong peanut butter flavor both come together in this cookie.

I enjoy receiving the crunchy candy shell pieces that give way to the creamy peanut butter centers of the M&Ms while still biting into the soft peanut butter cookie dough.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of general-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking soda
• 1/2 kosher salt spoon
• 1 - 1/2 sticks softened unsalted butter, at  room temperature, 
• 2/3 cup of natural peanut butter

• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract 
• 1 or 1/2 cup of M&M
  
  

Instructions

1. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing basin.
   
   
2. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
   
   
3. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract.
   
   
4. Combine the dry and wet ingredients until just mixed.

6. Refrigerate the dough overnight, covered with plastic wrap.
   
   
7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
   
   
8. Make 1-1/2-inch balls out of the dough. Place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet that has been prepped. Incorporate the leftover M&Ms into the dough (about 2-3 per cookie).
   
   
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden brown on top and cracked. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
