Consistency – Using a cookie scoop makes all of your cookies the same size. This means they should cook evenly and as a bonus they will look perfect.

Efficiency – Having all of the cookies the same size means that all of the cookies will have the exact same baking time.
How To Make Peanut Butter Scoop Cookies
Peanut Butter Scoop Cookies are big, delicious, and perfectly satisfying! Portioned with a cookie scoop, they look like little scoops of peanut butter ice cream.
Adding Reese’s Pieces gives a great little crunch to these crispy on the outside and perfectly crumbly buttery cookies.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray baking sheets generously with cooking spray or line with silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large bowl on medium speed, cream butter, brown sugar and granulated (white) sugar for 2 minutes, scraping sides occasionally.
Mix in peanut butter until fully incorporated.
Next, add in the eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture, scraping down the sides while mixing.
Once the dough has come together, remove the bowl from the mixer and add the 3/4 of a cup of the Reese’s Pieces. Fold in with a spatula until well distributed.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop dough into 3 tbsp balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet, being sure to leave some room between cookies.
Using the reserved Reese’s Pieces, push some into the tops of each cookie dough ball.
Bake for 11 – 13 minutes in the preheated oven until the edges have slightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet.
Serve immediately. Store in a covered container or a zip top bag. Enjoy!
