Peanut M&M Cookie Recipe?

Does anyone have a good PEANUT M&M cookie recipe?

I still have a TON of them left over from Halloween and I simply must have the space back. So I'm looking to turn them into something holiday-themed.

All the recipes I found use either regular or mini M&Ms. What's a girl to do with the peanut variety? (No, "eat them as is" is not an answer. I've been doing that for the past 2 months and I'm not making a dent.)

Thanks in advance for anyone who solves my peanut M&M dilemma!

    Thanks all! I didn't expect to hear back so quickly.

    Emme, I think I'm going to try those half-chocolate, half-peanut butter ones. Those sound gooooood. I'll post pics when I'm done!

        So... I baked them. They're fairly easy to make, esp. with an electric mixer.

        Next time, I'll probably decrease the sugar because they're on the sweet side (not unpleasantly so, I just like a more subtle flavor in my baked goods). And I really recommend the chocolate half as a stand alone cookie without the inclusion of M&Ms: very nice texture and flavor.

      use them in peanut butter cookies and give them as gifts. just add them in. basic cookie recipes are very forgiving.

        Maybe one of these will float your boat:

          Peanut M&Ms are bigger, which is probably why you don't see many recipes for them. Maybe you could make one of those giant cookies (the plate-sized ones you can buy in supermarket bakeries) and decorate them. Or maybe you can chop them up in a food processor and add them to a brownie dough.

          Or send them to me :)
