Peanut Butter Mini Jumbos


Why do we name things what we name them? Well, these almost speak for themselves. They're mini because I used my mini scoop and jumbo because they pack a lot stuff in them. I love the fact that they're made with peanut butter. Most recipes use mini M&M's, but I couldn't find any at the grocery store, but I found something even better: mini Reese's Pieces. The more peanut butter the better, at least that's what I say. Oh, and most recipes also use chocolate chips, but I didn't feel like it this time.

So, this is my version, I suppose.

1 1/2 c peanut butter
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1 c packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 1/2 c quick-cooking oats
2 tsp baking soda
1 c mini Reese's pieces
1 c M&Ms

1. In a large bowl (or a Kitchen Aid stand mixer if you're cool like me), cream peanut butter, butter, and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine oats and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in candies.

2. Using your fabulous cookie scoop (the smaller the better because you get more cookies that way), drop cookies onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-14, depending on how big they are and how soft you like your cookies. Remove the wire racks.

3. Share with all of your coworkers and friends.

  2. Hey Beckie. You need a picture of these. I need to see what they look like before I try to make them! :-)
