Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

So it took me awhile to find the perfect cookie. With the combination of my oven being difficult and not having the time I am so happy to have found this!!

This recipe is basically taken from Pinterest and tweaked a little bit. I was taken through a couple different blogs to find it and here it is!

This is the post from which I took the recipe from. click here.

Here is my recipe. Obviously it's practically the same from above just without the "Reeses surprise". The soft peanut butter part is what I was going for.

Ingredients:

1 stick butter(softened)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1 1/4 cup flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup of M&Ms

Optional: 

Add 1/2 cup of flax seed meal for added omega 3 and fiber

2 tablespoons of brewers yeast for added nutritional value

Omit half the flour for whole wheat flour

Directions:

Heat oven to 350.

Beat butter for 2 minutes. Add sugars and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping sides of bowl halfway through. Add peanut butter and egg and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add to sugar mixture until completely combined.

Drop onto ungreased baking sheet. Cook for 8-10 minutes. I had the timer on 8 minutes but saw that they needed just a couple minutes more, so 10 minutes is perfect for mine.

This made 3 dozen cookies exactly with my cookie scoop.

Every ones oven is different.

One day when I was complaining about ours, my wonderful patient husband said to me "You gotta know your oven babe". He is totally right! :) Now I can bake cookies with no problem. 

Enjoy these lovely cookies!
