Peanut Butter M&M Cookies
The taste is pretty much in the title: traditional peanut butter cookies with m&ms. Very soft peanut butter m&m cookies! I like my cookies soft, so I am glad these turned out that way. I was really into peanut butter for a time there so I decided to add M&Ms to my peanut butter cookies, and they were so good!

This m&m cookie recipe makes around 30 cookies. A serving is 2 cookies.

How to make excellent peanut butter m&m cookies:
- mix together wet ingredients and sugars-this helps the sugar become less grainy and it will beat the egg in. You can use a whisk for this part if you do not have a hand mixer
- stir together dry ingredients-dry ingredients include flour, baking soda, and salt.
- add dry ingredients to wet ingredients while stirring. Then, add m&ms.
- scoop out dough onto sprayed baking sheet using a cookie scoop. If you do not have a cookie scoop (we did not have one for many years), use a heaping tablespoon.
- bake! Look at my notes on the baking instructions.
