Picture this, a soft and chewy brown sugar cookie, infused with the irresistible crunch of chunky salted cocktail peanuts and the colorful sweet burst of Peanut Butter M&M’s. But wait, there’s more. These cookies are just as colorful, festive, and enticing as they are delicious. With the addition of colorful summertime sprinkles, these attractively irresistible cookies are destined to become a real crowd-pleaser, whether served at your next barbecue, picnic, or summer vacation pool party.

I am forever buying colorful holiday sprinkles with every intention of using them to create festive holiday desserts. Sadly, I am also forever finding these same sprinkles hidden away in a drawer or cabinet, completely unused. I think it’s safe to say that I have an addiction. A sprinkle addiction. I’m just not the type of person who can walk past a pretty sprinkle and think to myself, “Lady, don’t even think about it. Keep on walking. Those sprinkles aren’t that special and you have no use for them. You can live without them.” Y’all, when it comes to sprinkles, they are always that special, there is always a use for them, and they will always make life more appealing, even if the only thing they are gussying up is one of your kitchen drawers or cabinets.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
• 2 Cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 Cup Salted Cocktail Peanuts
• 1/2 Cup Sprinkles
• 1 (9-oz.) Bag Peanut Butter M&M’s

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together for 3 minutes on medium speed.
3. Add the eggs; mix for 30 seconds on medium speed. Add the vanilla; mix for 30 seconds on medium speed.
4. Add the baking soda and salt; mix for 30 seconds on medium speed.
5. Slowly add the flour 1 cup at a time on low speed. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold the peanuts and sprinkles into the cookie dough until well combined.
7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop the cookie dough out onto a Silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
8. Top each cookie with a few Peanut Butter M&M’s.
9. Bake for 12 minutes.

Suggestions:

• I used Red, White, & Blue Peanut Butter M&M’s for this recipe, as well as red, white, and blue sprinkles. You can use any color you prefer.
• You will be able to add two to three Peanut Butter M&M’s per cookie. If you would like to add more, buy an additional bag of M&M’s. Adding the M&M’s as decoration instead of mixing them into the cookie batter, ensures that each cookie has roughly the same number of M&M’s.
• If you’re not a fan of melted or cracked M&M’s, pressing the Peanut Butter M&M’s into the tops of the cookies after you remove them from the oven, helps to give the cookies a bumpy and more desirable appearance. Use whichever method you prefer. However, if you are adding the M&M’s after baking, you will need to press the M&M’s down into the cookies as soon as you remove them from the oven.
• Allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before removing them to a baking rack to finish cooling completely.
• These cookies will deflate as they cool, creating a soft and chewy cookie. If you overbake the cookies they will be dry and crispier.
• This recipe will yield approximately 4 dozen cookies.

Improvements:

• Add chocolate chips or chocolate chunks to the cookie dough.
• Fold 1 cup of crushed pretzels into the cookie dough.
• For more peanut butter flavor, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of peanut butter chips to the cookie dough.
