Easy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Author: Dorothy Kern

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Skippy Naturals Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter or any kind of chocolate peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup plain or mini M&M’s divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with silpat/silicone liners or parchment paper.
  • Stir together peanut butter, sugars, egg, and baking soda. Stir in 1/2 cup M&Ms.
  • Scoop cookies onto cookie sheets. I used a 2” cookie scoop for this step. Lightly wet the back of a fork with water and gently press each cookie down slightly with a criss-cross pattern. (Re-wet your fork after every few cookies.) Press remaining M&Ms on top of the cookies.
  • Bake for about 8 minutes or until they start to brown. Cool before removing from cookies sheets. Know that these cookies can be crumbly, so be careful when packaging them.
