Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat eggs, milk and vanilla together. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer, mix peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy.
Add egg mixture and mix until combined.
Add flour mixture and mix until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and M&Ms.
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove cookies from the oven. Leave on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove cookies to the baking rack to cool completely.

Notes

Feel free to have fun with the M&Ms! For example, if it’s around a certain holiday, buy whatever themed M&Ms are available and use those. When made with red and green M&Ms, these make perfect cookie exchange cookies for Christmas parties!
If you really love that tasty peanut flavor, toss in a small handful of roasted peanuts to the dough. It’s a great way to add more peanut flavor and crunchy texture.
When it comes to the mini chocolate chips, pick whatever kind of chocolate you prefer. Milk chocolate chips are my personal favorite for this recipe, but semi sweet and dark mini chocolate chips both work as well.
