Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese’s mini peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Add both the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
-
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Add Chocolate Chips and Reese’s: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s mini peanut butter cups.
-
Form the Cookie Bites: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the Cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
