Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cookies

I have been so surprised with all the pumpkin recipes that I have found this year. And what is better than pumpkin with peanut butter.  These cookies made me curious so I had to try them.  Only thing I would cook them just a few minutes longer.

M&M's and chocolate chips, what could be better?  I think though I would use mini chips next time.

Start with one stick softened butter and 1/2 cup peanut butter.  You can use either creamy or crunchy.

Then add 1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

Mix all that really well.

Add 3/4 cup pumpkin puree.

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups flour. Mix well after each cup.

3/4 cup chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups M&M's.  I used the peanut butter M&M's.

Mix well.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a parchment lines cookie sheet.  Place in a preheated 350 oven.  Bake for 7-8 minutes.  I would cook them a little bit longer.  You want them still soft but not fall apart soft.

Fresh from the oven.
