I found three recipes online and decided to try each one to see which one turned out the best. Over the last couple of weeks, I have made each recipe and then used Brian as a guinea pig. Of course he loved all the homemade cookies coming his way, but it wasn't until this weekends batch that he said (without any prodding) that this was the best cookies.
These satisfy my peanut butter craving maybe a little too much because I can't stop eating them! Maybe it is the special ingredient of Peanut M&M's or maybe it is because I accidentally got distracted while baking and let the ingredients whisk in my mixer extra long. Either way, this recipe is definitely going into my recipe book!

Oh yum! I, too, have a huge weakness for peanut butter!!
YUM YUM YUM! I could not make these because I'd eat the whole batch! They look tasty! Hey, at least you are getting your protein. :)
nothing like a peanut butter cookie after a run! Love! Thanks for the peanut butter M&Ms idea! Genius! I know my 4.5 year old will die over these.
yuum
They certainly look yummy! However I would be hesitant because of the calories. Can't you satisfy your peanut craving by eating peanuts? I hear they're very healthy.
