Instructions

Here’s how to bake your cookies:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until well combined.

Add the Chocolate

Gently fold in the chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Shape the Cookies

Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look soft but will harden as they 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.

Enjoy your delicious cookies!

Tips for Perfect Cookies

To achieve the best results, make sure your butter is softened at room temperature before you start creaming it with the sugars. This adds air into the mixture, ensuring your cookies are light and fluffy. If you're short on time, you can cut the butter into pieces and microwave it briefly—just be cautious not to melt it completely.

Consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Chilling helps the cookies maintain their shape and improves the flavors as they meld together, resulting in an even more delicious final product. It's a small step that can make a big difference.

Storing Your Cookies

After baking, you want to store these cookies properly to maintain their fresh taste and chewy texture. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can stay fresh this way for up to a week.

If you want to enjoy these cookies even longer, consider freezing them. Once cooled, you can freeze the cookies in an airtight bag or container for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature and savor those delicious flavors once again.
