Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, for taste balance)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract next, mixing until the batter is smooth and creamy, perfect for combining with dry ingredients.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend), baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in Reese’s Pieces and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces and semi-sweet chocolate chips generously, ensuring even distribution for every delicious bite.
- Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps meld flavors, firms up the dough for easier shaping, and prevents excessive spreading when baking.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges turn golden and centers remain slightly underbaked to maintain chewiness.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting time seals in flavor and perfects the texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and better dough consistency.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and tender.
- Fresh baking soda and quality peanut butter improve taste and rise.
- Chilling the dough controls spreading and enhances flavor.
- Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers are still soft for optimal chewiness.
- Customize by adding chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, nuts, or other candies.
