• Brown Sugar – We use light brown sugar. You can also use dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer flavor.

• White Sugar – Regular white granulated sugar.

• Peanut Butter – For best results, use smooth peanut butter in these cookies.

• Eggs – We use eggs at room temperature for fluffier cookies. We use large eggs, any color, white or brown.

• Pantry Staples – Vanilla extract, baking soda, salt.

• Flour – We prefer to use all purpose flour for best results.

• Reese’s Pieces – These add additional texture. Substitutions include peanut butter M7M’s, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

Why use a cookie scoop for Cookies?

• 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.

• Saves time – Scooping the cookies is much easier than portioning out the dough and rolling into even dough balls.

• Efficiency – Having all of the cookies the same size means that all of the cookies will have the exact same baking time.

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. Generously spray baking sheets with cooking spray or line with silicone baking mats. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping sides occasionally.

Add peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated.

Add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.

In a separate 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, portion the dough into 3 tbsp balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some room between the cookies.

Add the reserved Reese’s Pieces to each cookie by pushing 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 allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet.

Serve immediately. Store in a covered container or a zip top bag. Enjoy!
