Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these indulgent cookies:

For the Cookies:

• Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise slightly, keeping them soft and chewy.
• Salt: Balances out the sweetness and enhances the peanut butter flavor.
• Butter: Adds richness and moisture to the cookie dough.
• Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar: A perfect combination for sweet and slightly caramelized flavor.
• Peanut Butter: The star of the show, giving these cookies that signature flavor and creaminess.
• Egg: Binds the ingredients together and adds structure to the dough.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds a hint of warmth and depth to the cookies.
• Reese’s Mini Cups: These will be chopped into smaller pieces and mixed into the dough for that peanut butter and chocolate goodness.
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips: Adds a bit of extra peanut butter flavor with every bite.
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Chunks: A final touch to up the Reese’s game and create those little pockets of chocolatey peanut butter goodness.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or do it by hand with a spatula for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Peanut Butter, Egg, and Vanilla

Beat in the peanut butter until fully combined, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Combine the Dry and Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6: Add the Reese’s

Fold in the chopped Reese’s mini cups, Reese’s peanut butter chips, and Reese’s peanut butter cup chunks until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7: Scoop the Dough

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8: Bake the Cookies

Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden, but the centers are still soft. Don’t worry if they look a little underbaked; they’ll firm up as they cool.

Step 9: Cool the Cookies

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents them from falling apart.

Step 10: Serve and Enjoy!

Once cooled, grab a glass of milk and dive in. These cookies are perfect for snacking, sharing, or simply indulging in a little peanut butter bliss.

How to Serve Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are amazing on their own, but if you want to elevate your experience, here are a few ideas:

With a Glass of Milk

Peanut butter and chocolate are always better with a cold glass of milk to wash it down.

Additional Tips
