Peanut Butter M&M Cookies
Report
These Peanut Butter M&M Cookies perfectly combine peanut butter and chocolate in a soft, chewy cookie. The mini M&Ms add tiny, crunchy bursts of chocolate that balance the saltiness from the peanut butter AND peanut butter chips.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 1/4 cup unbleached flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup mini M&Ms divided
- 1 cup peanut butter baking chips
- sea salt optional, to garnish
Instructions
- Divide your M&Ms into 3 bowls: ¾ cup, ½ cup, and ¼ cup (does not have to be exact)
- Preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar.
- Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold in about ¾ cup of the M&Ms (save the rest for rolling & garnishing) and the peanut butter baking chips.
- Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls and roll the top half of the cookie dough ball in the ½ cup of M&Ms - using extra if needed)
- Place the cookie dough balls about 2 ½” apart on the baking sheet and bake for 8-9 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with sea salt and a few of the remaining M&Ms.
- Let cool for 8 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Do not over bake. These cookies will look slightly brown on the edges but soft in the center. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool on the baking sheet.
- For best results, cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days - if you are keeping them past 4 days I recommend freezing the cookie dough balls in an airtight container for up to 3 months and then baking them as needed.
- Cookie dough balls can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Remove from the freezer and bake according to the directions.
- The sea salt garnish is optional but makes for a pretty cookie with a great flavor!
- Cookies are soft and chewy - I love the light peanut butter flavor in the cookie dough with bursts of peanut butter in the baking chips.
