Chunky Cake Batter Cookies

My two most popular recipes on the blog are my no butter chocolate chip cookies and my cake batter cookies. I get more hits from those two recipes than all my other recipes combined! (Well, not exactly, but almost... and that's insane). The cake batter cookies are my all time favorite. I realize it's cheating and taking the easy way out but after making those I have just been modifying the mix ins and trying to find my favorite combinations. These chunky cake batter cookies were the result of an impulse buy at the food store. I went to ShopRite late on a Friday night to get something for the baby and ended up buying a bag of peanut butter M&Ms. And not a snack size bag... a big bag. I couldn't leave those sitting around so I decided to use some of them up in cookies. Enter these cookies! They were great- chunks of yumminess in each bite. John and I were big fans! I also delivered half to my neighbor who just had a beautiful baby girl 3 weeks ago, so hopefully they liked them as much as we did. Overall an easy, delicious, and fun recipe.
