I have tested this particular recipe half a gazillion times, and I truly believe this is the best peanut butter chocolate chip cookie around and it’s even better with m&ms. In these updated photos I used mini m&ms because I love that you get little nibbles of m&ms, but if you scroll down you’ll see the regular m&ms too.

The only thing you need to be aware of is that the more candy you add and the bigger they are the less cookie dough there is to create a yummy cookie.

Do Peanut Butter Cookies Need to Be Refrigerated?

Peanut butter cookies do not need to be kept in the refrigerator.

To prevent peanut butter cookies from becoming stale, cover them with plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container.

Can You Freeze Peanut Butter Cookie Dough?

To freeze, roll into a log, and  tightly wrap in plastic wrap, then into freezer bags.

Freeze for up to 3 months, then let it thaw in the refrigerator for an hour or two before rolling into balls or slicing and baking.

Or, you can roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet to freeze.

Once frozen, place in a freezer bag and store in the freezer until you are ready to bake them.

Can You Keep Chocolate Chips in the Freezer?

Semi Sweet Chocolate chips will maintain best quality for about 2 years in the freezer.

Milk chocolate chips will keep for 1 year.
