While munching on some peanut butter M&M's, I got to wondering what kind of cookie I could make with them. Why of course! A chocolate batter would compliment these M's famously. And then the Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Cookie was born. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 stick butter, room at room temperature

1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 - egg, large
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup flour

How To Make chocolate peanut butter m&m cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 and arrange the shelving so you have access to the middle of the oven.

Step 2

Cream the butter and brown sugar; approximately 5 minutes.
Step 3

Add egg, molasses and vanilla and blend.
Step 4

Add cocoa powder, baking soda and flour; mix till incorporated.
Step 5

** Note*** I used parchment paper but it is not necessary. I also worked in batches to keep an eye on the progress the cookies baked. **** Using a tablespoon/mellon baller/small icecream scooper, place a generous tablespoonful on your sheet. Spacing them an inch 1/2 apart. Press in your M&M's. I chose to do 3 for each cookie and it worked perfectly.
Step 6

Bake for 7-10 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pans. Grab a glass of milk and Enjoy!
