PB&J M&M Cookies

Surprisingly so, which I’m not sure why Brian expressed this – as it was the point! – these cookies are completely reminiscent of a scrumptious PB&J sandwich – but better, of course. After all, they ARE cookies and contain CHOCOLATE!

Bake these yummy and unique cookies now, and share with everyone you know!

Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

10 Tbs. butter, softened
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 cups peanut butter puff candy (Hammonds)
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ cups Bonne Maman Concord Grape Jelly
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ Tbs. baking powder
¼ tsp. sea salt
1 ½ cups Peanut Butter & Jelly M&M candies

Over medium heat, melt the butter, peanut butter, hard candy, and cocoa powder over medium-low heat, until the candies are soft.

Cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Using a mixer on low speed, cream together the grape jam, the chocolate peanut butter mix (cooled to room temperature), flour, and baking powder. Stir in the salt.

Once fully combined, fold in the Peanut Butter & Jelly M&Ms.

Line three cookie sheets with parchment paper and form 1-2” sized balls with your hands, flattening into discs to bake for 20-23 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes, or so, until enjoying with a lovely glass of milk.

Just like an amazing PB&J sandwich, but better!
