Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (creamy or chunky) peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups M&M candies
- 1 cup (optional) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Fold in the M&M candies and, if using, the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the dough.
Step 6
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough (or use a small cookie scoop) and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers still look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
