Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

You just can’t beat a thick, soft, and incredibly chewy peanut butter cookie. Especially if they are also loaded with chocolate M&M’s!

And that is exactly what these cookies are.

They are so full of flavour, and with the added crunch from the M&M’s, makes them my absolute favourite peanut butter cookie.

If you’re a big peanut butter fan (and love M&M’s), then I think you are going to LOVE these cookies!

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

• Plain/all-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Cornflour/cornstarch: Makes for extra soft and thick cookies.
• Salt
• Unsalted butter: Melted.
• Light brown sugar: Using mostly brown sugar makes for extra chewy cookies with a deeper flavour.
• Caster/granulated sugar
• Large egg
• Vanilla extract
• Smooth peanut butter: Microwaved until runny – about 20 seconds.
• Chocolate M&M’s

How to make Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

To make these cookies, simply grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peanut butter, and mix until combined.

Add the dry ingredients, mix until just combined, then fold in the M&M’s.

TIP: If you find the cookie dough too crumbly, add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) and mix until it comes together and is easier to manage.

Roll the dough into 2-oz balls (or use a medium cookie scoop), and place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.

Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 – 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
