While munching on some peanut butter M&M's, I got to wondering what kind of cookie I could make with them. Why of course! A chocolate batter would compliment these M's famously. And then the Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Cookie was born. Enjoy!

How To Make chocolate peanut butter m&m cookies

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 and arrange the shelving so you have access to the middle of the oven.
  • 2

    ** Note*** I used parchment paper but it is not necessary. I also worked in batches to keep an eye on the progress the cookies baked. **** Using a tablespoon/mellon baller/small icecream scooper, place a generous tablespoonful on your sheet. Spacing them an inch 1/2 apart. Press in your M&M's. I chose to do 3 for each cookie and it worked perfectly.

    Bake for 7-10 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pans. Grab a glass of milk and Enjoy!
