Sweet Saturday: Peanut Butter M&M Cookies
Crispy M&M’s are no longer being sold anywhere, and this is a bit heartbreaking for me. I loved those little chocolaty, crispy bits. My friend Kim and I used to share the big bags of them when we were roommates in college. For a while after they stopped selling them at grocery stores I could find them at Target, but I haven’t seen them in over a year now. My second favorite M&M is peanut butter.
I was at the store picking up some laundry soap and toothpaste when I saw a big bag of the Peanut Butter M&M’s on special, so I decided to buy one and make some cookies! I thought about doing an oatmeal cookie as the base, or maybe a peanut butter dough, but after much deliberation I settled on a chocolate chip cookie dough. I used Alton Brown’s recipe for The Chewy for a few reasons.
