Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup peanut butter (I like creamy.)
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt, scant (I use coarse sea salt.)
  • 6 Fun-Size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, cut into fourths
  • ¼ cup of M&Ms (about 3 fun-size packages)
  • 1 tbsp granulated white sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter for 30-40 seconds until just melted.
  4. Next, add brown sugar and peanut butter (adding this first to the hot butter helps it cool down before you add the egg). Stir well.
  5. Add egg, and mix until it is beaten in.
  6. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until completely incorporated.
  7. Gently stir in half of the candy, saving the rest to decorate the top.
  8. Once candy is stirred in, spread cookie dough into a lightly greased 9-inch pie tin.
  9. Sprinkle top with 1 tbsp of granulated sugar, and then use the remaining candy to decorate the top.
  10. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-28 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and toothpick comes out mostly clean from the center. It's okay if it has a few moist-looking crumbs on it, but you don't want it to have gooey batter on it.
  11. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
  12. Enjoy!
