Double Peanut Butter Candy Bites with M&Ms

My mom took my son and nephew(Both 2yo) out for a special treat. Before they left she let them help her make these delicious cookies. They loved helping her. It wasn't messy for them at all and they loved helping(and eating) with the cookies. They are bite size which makes for a way less messy event. Anyways, I highly recommend making these! FYI! You will need a mini muffin pan for these cookies. 1 package of Peanut butter cookie dough(16.5-oz) 1 bag of miniature peanut butter cups 1 bag of mini reg. choc. M&Ms Preheat oven to 350. Shape cookie dough into 24 (1-inch) balls, and place in cups of lighlty greased miniature muffin pan. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven, and press 1 miniature peanut butter cup candy into each cookie. Sprinkle cookies with mini m&ms. Makes 2 dozen. Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
