Print Recipe

These Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with peanut butter candies. The cookies stay soft for days and are perfect for peanut butter lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4oz (½ cup) Butter, softened to room temp.
  • 4oz (½ cup) Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 150 grams (¾ cup) Light Brown Sugar
  • 50 grams (¼ cup) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg, at room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 188 grams (1 ½ cups) All-Purpose Flour
  • ¾ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¾ Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 30z (½ cup) Chocolate Chips/Chunks
  • 8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (5 for inside, 3 for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and peanut butter together for 2 minutes, until fully combined and light and fluffy. Add the brown and granulated sugar then mix for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture, and mix for another 2 minutes.
  3. While mixing, in a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  4. Gently fold in the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then fold in the chocolate chips and 5 chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
  5. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop a heaping 1.5 Tablespoons size balls of dough. Press extra chopped Reese's peanut butter cup pieces and chocolate on top if desired.
  6. Place dough balls on a parchment-lined plate, wrap in plastic wrap or container, and chill dough for 1 hour to 48 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place chilled dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy for best results. Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and keeps cookies thick. Save some chopped Reese’s cups to press on top before baking for a prettier finish.
