Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup creamy peanut butter

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup packed brown sugar

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and well combined.

3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

6. Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s cups, Reese’s Pieces, and peanut butter chips. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Slightly press down on each cookie ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten them a bit.

9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.

10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 15 minutes to prep and 12 minutes to bake, so you can have these delicious treats ready in under 30 minutes!

Variations

• Add some crunch: You can add chopped nuts like peanuts or almonds to the dough for a little extra texture.

• Try different chocolate: If you prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate, swap out the Reese’s cups and chips for your favorite type of chocolate.

• Peanut butter lovers: Add an extra scoop of peanut butter or use peanut butter chunks in place of some of the Reese’s products for an even stronger peanut butter flavor.

Storage/Reheating

These cookies will stay fresh for about 3-5 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to store them for a longer period, they can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave them for 10-15 seconds or warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.

FAQs

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Yes! If you love the extra texture, feel free to use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for a bit of crunch in every bite.

Can I make these cookies without Reese’s products?

While Reese’s products really elevate these cookies, you could substitute with other types of chocolate candies, such as M&Ms or chopped chocolate bars, if needed.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can! Just roll the cookie dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze them until solid. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, just pop the dough balls on a baking sheet and bake as usual—no need to thaw!

Can I use an egg substitute?

If you’re looking to make this recipe egg-free, you can substitute each egg with ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Keep in mind that the texture may be slightly different.

Why are my cookies flat?

If your cookies spread too much, it might be because the dough was too warm when baking. Try chilling the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape.
