INGREDIENTS

Primary
- 🥜 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 🟤 ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 🟤 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
- 🥚 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 🧂 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 🌱 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

STEPS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Mix together peanut butter, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg until combined. Mix in mini chocolate M&Ms.

Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Flatten dough balls to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Bake in the preheated oven until tops of cookies begin to slightly crack, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool 10 minutes on baking sheets before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 For a chewier texture, do not overbake the cookies. Slight cracks on top are a good indicator that they are done.If you don’t have mini M&Ms, you can use chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate pieces instead.Make sure the egg is at room temperature for easier mixing and better consistency in the cookies.Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
