Peanut Butter M&M Cookies
These Peanut Butter M&M Cookies are the perfect combination of chewy peanut butter goodness and crunchy chocolate candy! Full of nutty buttery flavor and nostalgic M&M's!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter smooth
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup butter salted, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Slowly mix in the baking soda and flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Scoop the dough and shape into 2 inch balls
- Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes,or until there are slight cracks on top and lightly browned edges.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: it's critical to chill the dough to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Don't Overbake: The cookies will appear slightly underdone in the center at the end of the cooking time, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Space Them Out: leave ample space between each dough ball on the baking sheet.
- Make Them Bigger or Smaller: Adjust the baking time if you make smaller or larger cookies. Just keep an eye on the edges for slight browning. We like them big and 1 cookie is very satisfying!
