Description

Try these peanut butter M&M cookies for a quick and easy treat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar

• 1 large egg, at room temperature

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 2/15 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1/2 cup mini candy-coated chocolate pieces (such as mini M&M's®)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2 Mix together peanut butter, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg until combined. Mix in mini chocolate M&Ms.

3 Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoon sized balls of dough and place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Flatten dough balls to about 1/2 inch thickness.

4 Bake in the preheated oven until tops of cookies begin to slightly crack, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool 10 minutes on baking sheets before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
