Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup M&M candies (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and M&M candies.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Press a few extra M&Ms on top of each dough ball for a bakery-style look.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and centers look just set.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for the best dough consistency.
  • Don’t overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
