I took a casual stroll down the candy aisle the other day and I saw the most adorable Easter Egg Peanut Butter M&Ms! Into my cart they went.

Easter Peanut Butter M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

The only reason I allow myself to buy peanut butter M&Ms is if I bake with them, because they are not safe around me.

Or I am not safe around them.

I’m not really sure which is more apt.

Probably both.

In my college days, when Peanut Butter M&M’s first came out, I would devour entire bags! And not the small bags. #nojudgement

I was obsessed! I was powerless in the face of such a yummy candy! Powerless, I tell you!

I made them extra large for maximum chewiness and to accommodate the large PB M&Ms. Or at least that is what I told myself (and my Husband).

Ingredients 
 

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375° and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. I would not recommend using a hand mixer or trying to make this batter by hand.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, beating until well incorporated.
  • Gradually stir in flour in several additions. I usually do 5.
  • Stir in M&Ms and mini chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight for the chewiest cookies. You can also skip this step, but your cookies will spread more.
  • Roll dough balls the size of half a tennis ball and place 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake 9-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still look underbaked.

  2. 1. OOOOH so chewy and perfectly peanut buttery!!!
    2. preeeetttyyyy
    3. I looooove love love peanut butter m&m’s (although they came out way longer ago than that! I used to have them after school when I was little (just googled it-they came out in 1990 :P)
    4.yayayayyyy hooray for these amazing cookies!

    1. Lol! Thank you, Kayle!! You’re so sweet!!

      As for #3, I guess I was late to the party!!! [bc FYI I was not in college in the 90’s!]

        1. Just makin’ sure! It’s probably for the best that I didn’t discover them until college… lol!

  3. Uh oh! 🙂 I can see how these would be TOTALLY addictive. Yes, I probably couldn’t stop eating them until I had at least a dozen. Love!

  4. Love the springy Easter colors! I can imagine you make a beautiful Easter basket. Peanut butter M&Ms in a chocolate chip cookie…yum! I cant believe you devoured bags of M&M’s! Lol If I did that, I think I’d be blowing up and getting diabetes.

    1. Thanks! I obviously got a little carried away with the pictures but it was just so much fun! Who doesn’t love Easter grass? Actually this Easter grass was almost the end of my super-curious cat…so no more Easter baskets around here 🙁

      Who said the PB m&ms didn’t play a significant roll in the Freshman 15?! 😉 Not even 2 hours of gym-time can remedy that situation!
