Description

These jumbo bakery-style Peanut Butter M&M Chocolate Chip Soft Batch cookies are perfectly soft on the inside with amazing flavor!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter M&;Ms (plus extra for the top)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer (affiliate link), combine butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla.
  2. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes or until fully blended.
  3. Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and continue to mix for one minute, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Add chocolate chips and M&Ms and fold in by hand. Dough will be very thick.
  5. Use your hands to form dough balls-use about 1/4 cup of dough per cookie.
  6. Place on a plate and flatten slightly.
  7. Add extra M&Ms to the top of the cookie if desired.
  8. Cover plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3-4 hours. (Don’t skip this step or you’ll end up with giant melted cookie mess!)
  9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  10. Place cookies on a greased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set-the top may look slightly undercooked.
  12. Allow to cool 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
