Rosetta’s Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Cookies.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick softened
1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups mini peanut butter m&m’s
1/2 bag peanut butter chips (optional)
Directions:
Cream butter, shortening, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until blended well, then add vanilla.
Stir together (or sift) all-purpose flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly add flour mixture to creamed butter mixture and mix well. Stir in mini-peanut butter m&m’s and peanut butter chips and mix well.
Drop by rounded teaspoons on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 F for 11-12 minutes.
* I line my cookie sheets with parchment paper, and I use a cookie scoop instead of a teaspoon.
