Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

The original recipe said to bake for 20-25 minutes. My oven is old and a bit quirky and baked them for approx 18-20. Bake until edges just begin to brown.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup M&Ms or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl cream well together butter and sugar, add egg and beat until creamy, add vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda and salt, then add M&Ms or chocolate chips.
  • To the large bowl add ⅓ at a time the flour mixture, mixing with a wooden spoon. Turn onto a lightly floured wooden board, knead gently until firm (with lightly floured hands), wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 24 hours.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  • Remove from fridge, shape into balls and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheets, flatten with a fork (dip lightly in flour, so dough doesn't stick) and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely. Enjoy!
