Mini M&M Peanut Butter Christmas Cookies
Mini M&M Peanut Butter Christmas Cookies
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 6 Minutes Total Time: 36 minutes | Yield: 50 Cookies Recipe Type: Cookies |
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, 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. (You'll 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 Serve!!
Notes: Freeze well cookies.
