Valentines Day Peanut Butter Cookies With M&Ms

by Linette

Everyone seems to love our traditional peanut butter cookie recipe, so I thought I’d give it a fun twist for Valentine’s Day and add some of the Valentine M&Ms to the mix, to make some Valentines Day peanut butter cookies. You should be able to find the M&M Valentine’s Mix at most major retailers this time of year or you can find them on Amazon here (affiliate link).  These Valentine’s Day cookies were a big hit at our house, I’m hoping they will be at your house too!
