Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth.
- Add the sugars and mix on high for about 2 minutes until fluffy. Scrape down the sides, then add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated.

- Gently fold in the M&Ms.
- Shape dough into balls (2-3 tablespoons each) and slightly flatten them on the baking sheet. Press a fork into each cookie to create a criss-cross pattern and garnish with additional M&Ms.
