Quick Facts

• Yield: About 24 cookies
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
• Total Time: 27 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces candy
• Optional: extra peanut butter cups for pressing on top

How I Make It

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy—using an electric mixer makes this part a breeze.

Step 2:

Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Beat until everything just comes together, then sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently until you have a soft dough.

Step 3:

Now for the magic—fold in your chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and the Reese’s Pieces candies. The dough should be dotted with these little pockets of chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness.

Step 4:

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. If you want to get fancy, press an extra Reese’s peanut butter cup on top of each ball right before baking.

Step 5:

Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Don’t overbake—these cookies should stay tender and chewy!

Step 6:

Let cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This step helps them set without losing that soft chewy texture.

Variations & Tips

• Substitute crunchy peanut butter for extra texture if you like a little crunch in your cookie.
• Use mini Reese’s cups for a more uniform chocolate peanut butter swirl throughout.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon to deepen the flavor profile—it’s a secret upgrade!
• Swap Reese’s Pieces for chopped peanuts or toffee bits if you want less sugar.
• If your dough feels too sticky, chill it for 20 minutes before scooping for easier handling.

How I Like to Serve It

These cookies are perfect with a tall glass of cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee on a chilly afternoon. They also make a fun, festive treat to bring to parties or bake up as a surprise for your friends. Honestly, they’re a great way to celebrate any day that needs a little extra sweetness!

Notes

• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them soft and fresh.
• Reheat gently in the microwave for 10 seconds to bring back that fresh-baked warmth before serving.
