Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Small bag M&Ms

Method

In large bowl mix butter, peanut butter, sugars, and egg. Blend in remaining ingredients except M&Ms. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mold 1 tablespoon dough around one or two candies. Place about 2 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake about 9 or 10 minutes until set but not hard.

Notes: You can use any type M&M's that you like. I sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar over the cookies just after they come out of the oven, but that is optional.

Number of servings: Makes about 4 dozen cookies
