Easy M&M Cookies

Ingredients:

2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup (2 Sticks) Salted Butter, Softened
1-1/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
2 Tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
2 Tablespoons Nutella
3/4 cups M&M's, Roughly Chopped

Directions:

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together and set aside.

Cream together the butter with the sugars, scraping the bowl once while mixing. 

Add peanut butter and Nutella and mix. Add dry ingredients in increments, mixing gently after each addition. Scrape the bowl once and mix again.

Add M&M's and mix gently to combine.

Spoon dough on a long piece (or two shorter pieces) of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Carefully roll the dough inside the wrap, pressing gently to get it to form into a firm cylinder. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours or place into the freezer for 20-30 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice off as many cookies as you'd like and lay the slices on a baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until nice and golden brown.
