A delightful treat combining creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate, these cookies feature mini Reese’s pieces and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups for a nostalgic experience.
Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter smooth and luscious
- 1 cup brown sugar packed and aromatic
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar sweet and inviting
- 1 large egg fresh and essential for binding
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract fragrant and warm
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda for that perfect lift
- 1/4 teaspoon salt enhancing the flavors
- 1 cup all-purpose flour to give structure
- 1 cup mini Reese’s pieces vibrant and crunchy
- 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups decadent and indulgent
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well blended and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the mini Reese’s pieces and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press each cookie ball down with a fork, creating crisscross marks.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing. Don’t rush the folding of the Reese’s pieces and peanut butter cups to enhance flavor distribution.
