How to make Peanut Butter Cookies
- Stir together peanut butter, both sugars, and egg in a large bowl.

- Place cookie dough balls on uncreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mats and top with some M&Ms.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are just no longer glossy. Cool completely before removing from cookie sheet.
Expert Tips
- If you want, you could add chocolate chips or reese’s pieces to these cookies.
- Make sure they cool completely before moving from the cookie sheets.
- I stir by hand but you can also use a stand mixer or electric mixer.
Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze them in a single layer in large gallon size bags.

- Stir together peanut butter, both sugars, and egg.
- Scoop cookie dough in desired size (I used a large ice cream scoop that's about ¼ cup). Place a peanut butter cup in the center and roll to cover completely. The dough is pretty wet, so spray your hands with cooking spray so it doesn't stick.
