• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 3 dozen cookies

ingredients

• 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Mix-In

• 2 cups m&m's milk chocolate candies
• 2 butterfinger candy bars, coarsely chopped
• 0.5 (8 ounce) package toffee pieces

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a mixer bowl, cream butter or margarine, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
3. Gradually beat in your choice of mix-in's until just combined. If you want just peanut butter cookies, just skip this step.
4. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough into remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Shape into balls. Place about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with a fork dipped in the sugar.
5. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are just set and are slightly firm to the touch. Do not over-bake. They will crisp up when cooled.
6. Cool for one minute on cookie sheets. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
