Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Where are my peanut butter M&M fans at? They are my go to road trip snack and one of the only candies I actually like. I wanted to create a cookie with them but didn’t want it to be a peanut butter cookie but rather a chocolate chip cookie with the addition of peanut butter M&Ms so that there was just a hit of peanut butter flavor but not an overwhelming amount of peanut butter.

These cookies are one of my new favorites. I know I say that every time I have a new cookie recipe but I’m really not kidding. They are the perfect snack when I’m craving something with chocolate and peanut butter. Try them next time you are in the mood to bake cookies!

Tips & Tricks:

  • I know its obnoxious to have to chill the dough before you bake them but its a critical step and really important so don’t skip it! It allows the butter in the dough to harden again so that the cookies don’t bake completely flat.
  • You want your butter to still be slightly cold and not completely softened. I like to take it out about 30 minutes before I am ready to start making the cookies.
  • You can substitute any flavor M&M you want, get creative! I think these would be so good with the caramel M&Ms!

Description

Classic chocolate chip cookies with a peanut butter twist. These cookies are loaded with chocolate chips AND peanut butter M&Ms, the perfect combination!


Ingredients

Scale
  •  3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks salted butter, at room temp but not softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl add butter and sugars and mix on medium high speed for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed for another 30-60 seconds or until combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt. Whisk together.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed and mix until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Fold in your peanut butter M&Ms and chocolate chips until evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop the cookie dough into 1/4 cup sized dough balls. You should get 17-20 dough balls.
  8. Cover and freeze dough for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 2 hours.
  9. Once chilled, bake 6 at a time on a half sheet pan for 10-14 minutes or until set in the center and just slightly golden brown on the edges.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack.

THREE YEARS OLD!!! I can’t believe my baby girl THREE YEARS OLD!!!

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 3. Quinney woke up today crying that she didn’t want it to be her birthday and didn’t want to turn 3. If only I could keep her 2 forever 🤣

Quinney is our sour patch girl. She is a wild child with some serious sass but she has a very sweet side too. She’s the funniest little thing and always has us laughing. Her personality is summed up perfectly in many of these videos. She beats to the tune of her own drum, that’s for sure. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

She loves all things girly. Dancing, babies, Barbie’s, make up, nail polish, dresses and pink. We love our big 3 year old Quinney girl 💕💕💕
Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kit Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kitchen creating as much as normal and it’s been really hard on me to not be producing new recipes for you guys a couple times a week but that’s just the stage of life I’m in right now…..

Growing a human, raising 2 other humans, being a wife and taking care of my family will always be my number one priority. I’m exhausted 99% of the time but I know I’ll look back on these messy days and miss them dearly so right now I’m trying to not be so hard on myself and just live in the moment and be grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. 

I promise when I get some energy back (if ever this pregnancy 🤪) I will be back to producing a couple new recipes a week but in the meantime I hope you stick around and enjoy my life via Instagram exactly as it is ❤️❤️❤️
