Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Cookies
Growing up I was not a fan of peanut butter. I know. Crazy, right? Who doesn’t like peanut butter? Well, I didn’t. I’d eat jelly sandwiches instead of peanut butter and jelly. I think it’s just that I always new I’d prefer sugar. Even when I didn’t really know it yet.
But something happened a few weeks ago.
I made a cake for a co-workers birthday. I haven’t shared it yet. Sorry about that. I’ve been trying to get to baking some fun Christmas stuff. But I will say that this cake had a peanut butter cream cheese icing in it. It was a first for me. I didn’t think I’d like it.
Boy was I wrong. I COULD NOT STOP EATING IT. All by itself. No cake. Just peanut butter cream cheese icing. Amazing.
So now I appear to be a peanut butter fan. Imagine that! I even bought peanut butter M&Ms! And made cookies with them! It really is a crazy breakthrough for me on the peanut butter front.
So I hope you enjoy the first peanut butter cookies I have ever made and wanted to eat. The M&Ms are obviously wonderful (if you like peanut butter) and the cookie is a wonderfully chocolatey and dense one. Not to be eaten without a big glass of milk. Or given the holiday season, I like eggnog.
You could even replace the peanut butter M&Ms with mint ones for a nice minty chocolate cookie. Yummy!
