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.

It’s been over a year since I’ve had a new recipe on the blog and I’m so happy to report that I’m back and have a brand new recipe you don’t want to miss! 

If you haven’t tried @thecravecookies yet, you are totally missing out! Their Pistoffee cookie is to die for and I created a copycat for you guys! It’s loaded with salted pistachios, toffee chunks and semi sweet chocolate! The perfect sweet and salty treat!

I brought these cookies to Bunco last week and girls were stashing them in their bags to take home, they are that yummy!
