Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups (about 4 mini cups)
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey flavor)
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Add the Reese’s Goodies:
- Gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, and chocolate chips (if using).
4. Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- For a decorative touch, press a few extra Reese’s Pieces or chocolate chips on top of each dough ball.
5. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
- Add a Drizzle: Melt some peanut butter or chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cookies for an extra indulgent touch.
