Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Reeses Add-Ins:
- 1 cup Reeses pieces
- 1 cup Reeses peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup Reeses miniature peanut butter cups
Baking and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by preheating the oven to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick performance.
- Cream together softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cookies.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, blending thoroughly until the ingredients are completely integrated and the texture is uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive cookie dough forms without overmixing.
- Gently fold in Reeses pieces, chopped Reeses peanut butter cups, and miniature Reeses peanut butter cups, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers appear slightly soft but set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the Reeses pieces to set and the cookies to firm up.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, preserving their rich peanut butter flavor and soft texture.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar quantities, creating a balanced flavor profile that suits individual taste preferences.
- Ensure butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Swap regular Reeses for dark chocolate or sugar-free versions to accommodate dietary restrictions or reduce sugar intake.
