Peanut Butter M&M cookie cake

17th October 2012

Within my Cybercandy package of joy was tucked this little gem which made for a wishlist inducing breakfast read. When I saw a recipe inside for cookies using peanut butter m&ms I knew I HAD to make them; as luck had it I had recently found a huge bag of peanut butter m&ms that I had picked up some time ago and forgotten about (how I don’t know, those things are like crack!) I’ve shared the recipe above incase you want to give these a go too, and believe me, you should! I made a couple of amendments- my mixture was really runny so instead of making lots of small cookies I made two cookie cakes which I sliced straight from the oven as a fun treat for my colleagues at work. I also didn’t have enough plain flour so subbed 1oz of self raising with no ill effect…oh and I mixed the m&ms into the mixture rather than just dotting on top.

The result?

sliced to share.


The cookie cakes took just over ten minutes to bake perfectly. I’d never made these before but would do it again as a fun alternative to a birthday cake!
What do you like to throw in to cookies?

    I don’t think I’ve ever even tried peanut butter m&ms – but this looks like a very good way to change that…fast. What a great idea too – to bake an alternative, huge biscuity birthday cake.
