Friday Night Movie Night

On Friday, my husband e-mailed me from work asking me to pick up some supplies for our Friday Night Movie Night. He asked for the ingredients to make Peanut Butter Cookies with M&M’s. (As you know from my Valentine’s Day post, my husband loves the peanut butter and chocolate combo.) So, off to the store I went to get what we needed.

Although we make Peanut Butter Cookies regularly, we had not tried this variation before. We were all pleased with the result. Instead of the rustic looking Peanut Butter Cookies we are used to, Shane formed the dough with his hands to make the pretty cookies pictured above.

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter (regular, organic or natural peanut butter)

1 cup raw sugar (or white sugar)

1 egg

1 cup M&M’s, divided

Set aside two tablespoons of the M&M’s to use as garnish. Stir together the remaining ingredients. Shape into balls, and then form into round cookie shapes. Press 2-3 M&M’s on top of each cookie. Bake at 350˚ for 12 minutes or until golden. Let cool on pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Yield: 12-15 cookies.
