Knock Your Socks Off Cookies

These cookies are the bomb diddly, or in other words, they are simply amazing!

Chock-full of peanut butter cups, chocolate chunks, and candy pieces, they just might knock your socks off. 

Since tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, I used leprechaun green m&m's but regular is just fine.  Here's the Recipe.
