Servings: 40 cookies
Equipment
- Measuring cup + measuring spoons
- cookie sheet
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Hand or Stand Mixer
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Flour
- 2 cups Reese's Pieces
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 Eggs
- 1 ¼ cups Granulated sugar
- ¾ cups Brown sugar
- 1 cup Butter unsalted + softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease your baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
- Mix in eggs, vanilla extract, and peanut butter until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix this into the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces.
- Scoop the dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Roll gently in your hands to shape.
- Place cookies a few inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes. Start checking around 8 minutes—edges should be lightly golden, and centers still slightly soft.
Notes
Tips
- Best type of peanut butter: Stick to regular creamy peanut butter. Natural and crunchy varieties don’t blend as smoothly into cookie dough.
- Don’t overmix the dough – Overmixing can lead to tough, flat cookies. Mix only until ingredients are combined.
- Consistent size = even baking – Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon so cookies are uniform in size and bake evenly.
- Cookies: Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Dough: Store unbaked dough in the fridge for 3–4 days, or freeze for up to 6 months (wrap tightly in plastic and seal in a freezer bag).
- Frozen cookies: Freeze baked cookies in a sealed container for up to a year.
