Description
Soft, chewy peanut butter cookies loaded with Reese’s pieces and peanut butter cups for the ultimate chocolate–peanut butter treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces candies
- 1 cup chopped mini Reese’s peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
- Fold in Reese’s Pieces and chopped peanut butter cups.
- Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill dough for 20 minutes if cookies spread too much.
- Add extra Reese’s Pieces on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
- Do not overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool.
