What does one do with a gift basket filled with M&M’s? Find creative ways to incorporate them into recipes, of course! Here’s a recipe for soft-baked cookies with M&M’s added in for extra chocolatey goodness! Some call these monster cookies, but because I didn’t add anything more to them to make them monstrous, I’ll just stick with M&M Cookies.
M&M Cookies
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup margarine
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¾ cup peanut butter (I use Wow Butter peanut butter substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 and ¼ cups flour
- ½ cup quick oats
- 2 packages plain M&M's
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until blended.
- Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla.
- Next, mix in the baking soda and flour. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the quick oats, then the M&M's.
- Drop onto baking sheet in 1 tbsp balls (I use a fabulous medium melon ball scoop!)
- Bake for exactly 9 minutes and remove from oven promptly. Use the back of a spoon to flatten a bit, then leave on the cookie sheet to cool for about 10m before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Cookies will appear almost under-baked, but giving them that extra 10m on the cookie sheet to set will complete them. Cookie to room temp, "You complete me!" 😉
Oh these look so good.
These look really yummy, Tenille!
