Experiment Results

Experiment #1 This experiment was attempted without nuts.
Replace chocolate chips with Kit Kat "Bites" candy pieces
Success! They came out a bit softer in the middle and crisper around the edges than expected, but firmed up suitably after sitting to cool and were quite delicious 3nodding It was difficult forming the dough-blobs, though, due to the size of the candy pieces.

Experiment #2
Replace chocolate chips with mix of M&M's and Reese's Pieces
Experiment not yet completed

Experiment #3 This experiment was attempted without nuts.
Replace 12oz. chocolate chips with 10oz. PB chips
Success! Yummy. Although this wasn't really much of an experiment. But the 2oz difference didn't make much of a difference to the cookies themselves (especially as I usually eat the extra 2oz of chocolate chips anyways ninja )

If you're going to try M&Ms, a couple of notes.

1. Don't mix the Ms into the batter. Make sure that you just press it on when you place the dough balls onto the cookie sheets. Trust me, it's a disaster otherwise.

2. When you're making the batter, sub out the butter, and use shortening instead. The shortening melts at a much higher temperature, and the cookies will hold up higher.

I'll keep in mind the note about the M&M's, but shortening tends to be in low supply around here... as in, we have none. We're not fussy eaters around here, anyways. If it's edible, we'll eat it xp
