Ingredients
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter M&Ms
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2️⃣ Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
3️⃣ Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
4️⃣ Mix dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
5️⃣ Add mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips and peanut butter M&Ms gently to distribute evenly.
6️⃣ Scoop and bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
7️⃣ Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
8️⃣ Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
