Description
Chunky Peanut Butter M&M Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of peanut butter with the colorful crunch of M&M’s, creating a perfect blend of chewy and crunchy textures.
Ingredients
- Peanut butter: 1 cup (creamy or chunky)
- Brown sugar: 1 cup (packed)
- Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup
- Eggs: 2 large
- All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
- Baking soda: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- M&M’s: 1 cup (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in the M&M’s into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few additional M&M’s on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use chunky peanut butter.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- To freeze, place cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
