This was wonderful! You really can taste the peanut butter. It doesn’t get hidden in the mix.

I used this as an M&M cookie recipe. My husband ended up saying, “Man! What great peanut butter cookies! The M&Ms aren’t needed!” He was right. They were WONDERFUL. You can really taste the peanut butter.
Quick tip, based on my own mistake: make sure to sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together, too. It would have given a better rise if I’d done that right, but it still turned out right!

Megan – Great idea, they would turn out just fine! Infact, I’m going to try it myself.

Bobby! Have I told you that I love your site….my husband does too lol! Well, I made these cookies last night for my husband and father in law. The soft ones were our favs! Do you think they would turn out if I threw in some reeses peanut butter cup pieces instead of m&ms? Safeway makes peanut butter cookies with reeses and they are really good so I wanted to try the same thing.

I’ve made these three times since finding your recipe on a google seach. They are so yummy! Everyone wants the recipe. I use Peanut Butter M&M’s when I make them and I add a few more than one cup.

Has anyone tried this with the new transformers strawberried-peanutbutter m&m’s? I’m going to try it tonight, it sounds fantastic! The M&Ms themselves taste like a pb&J.

I made the peanut butter cookies again. This time, I used 1 c. dark brown sugar instead of the first time when I used 1/2 c. light brown sugar and 1/2 c. dark brown sugar because I ran out of the light brown sugar. The results were not as good this time. I would recommend either doing the 1/2 c. light brown sugar and 1/2 c. dark brown sugar, or the 1 c. light brown sugar in addition to the regular white granulated sugar. Definitely put the dough in the refrig overnight for a fluffier cookie and the flavors blend together better. I compared some cookies where the dough was and was not put in the refrig overnight, and you can notice the cookies spread out more horizontally if you don’t put them in the refrig overnight. I guess when you put the dough in the refrig overnight, they don’t spread out as much so it stays slightly more fluffed up, and not as flattened.

Another thing I learned was if you have only medium size eggs and the recipe calls for 2 (probably large or x-large) eggs, you can compensate by using 3 medium eggs for this recipe.

Just a minor detail, but you mistakenly left out the salt in your instructions as one of the ingredients which can be sifted together with the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

You read my mind by posting the recipe for carrot cake this week!
