Rainbow peanut butter M&M cookies filled with chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, and colorful M&M candies.
113 grams unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup / 1 stick)
200 grams granulated sugar (1 cup), plus more for rolling
100 grams light brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
130 grams peanut butter (1/2 cup)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
180 grams all purpose flour (1 1/3 cups)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
200 grams mini M&Ms (1 cup), plus more to decorate
175 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
125 grams rainbow baking chips* (1/2 cup), optional, see notes
50 grams rainbow sprinkles (1/4 cup)
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whip butter until light and fluffy.
Add sugars and mix on medium-high speed until well combined.
Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until just combined.
Stir in the mini M&Ms, semi sweet chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles, and rainbow baking chips, if using.
Cover bowl with clingfilm/plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least one hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375° F / 190° C. Line a half sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
With a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, scoop dough into 24 portions.
With your hands, roll each scoop into a ball. Arrange half of the balls on prepared baking tray. Refrigerate remaining dough until ready to bake.
Use your fingertips to flatten slightly. Press a few extra mini M&Ms on top of each ball.
Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until just very lightly golden brown around the edges. Do not overbake.
For perfectly round cookies, quickly reshape with a round metal cutter.
Cool on tray for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
Store peanut butter M&M cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
*If you can’t find rainbow baking chips, you can substitute rainbow candy-coated sunflower seeds or another rainbow candy of your choice, or omit altogether.
