Description

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 11 tablespoons unalted butter, at room temperature
• 1¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup mini M&Ms

Directions

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl if using an electric hand mixer), add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla, and beat until incorporated.
• Add the flour mixture. Beat until just combined. Add the mini M&Ms and beat one more time until just combined.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight, until very cold.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350.
• Taking between 2 teaspoon and a scant tablespoon of dough, roll out balls of dough. Optional: press mini M&Ms into the top of the dough ball for extra prettiness. Chill for another hour.
• Place a silpat mat or piece of parchment on a cookie sheet, and place dough balls on sheet, a few inches apart. (Youll need to cook in batches - not all the cookies will fit on one sheet. Keep the dough balls in the fridge until ready to use.)
• Bake for about 4 minutes. Rotate pans in oven and bake another 2 minutes, or until cookies are just set, but still appear slightly underdone. Total time will depend on your oven, but do not overbake.
• Remove from oven and let cool on pan for about 5 minutes. Place on wire rack to finish cooling. Make sure your pan is cool before baking another batch.
• Eat and enjoy!
