7th Step:

After 5 minutes of cooling on the baking sheet, remove it from the oven and let the cookies rest entirely on a wire rack.

8th Step:

Once the Peanut Butter M&M Cookies have cooled, place them in an airtight container to keep them from becoming stale. If they survive that long, you may enjoy them for days.

TIPS:

Use the smaller M&M candies for a more intense chocolate flavor.

If you want your cookies to have more of a bite to them, try using crunchy peanut butter instead than smooth.

Add an extra tablespoon or two of peanut butter if you want a stronger peanut butter taste.

You can’t go wrong with these cookies as a present! Display them in a pretty container or give them out in cellophane wrappers with bows.
