Peanut M&M Cookies
These Peanut M&M Cookies are the ultimate combination of salty and sweet. The cookie is buttery and soft pairing perfectly with the crunch of the chocolate peanut candies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Salted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 2/3 cup Peanut M&M Candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
- To a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and sugar
- Use an electric mixer to combine the butter and sugar until fluffy and combined
- Add the egg and vanilla extract
- Mix again until combined
- Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda
- Mix until just combined
- Add the Peanut M&M Cookies and fold into the batter using a spatula
- Once evenly distributed in the batter, use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop to portion out the dough
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Place the dough on the baking sheet. I usually bake 6-8 cookies at a time, ensuring there is enough space for the cookies to spread out when baking
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the edges are crisp with a soft center
- Remove from the oven and add extra Peanut M&M candies, if desired
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes
- Enjoy!
