→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup (115g) softened unsalted butter
02 -
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
03 -
1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
04 -
1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
08 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
09 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 -
1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 -
1 cup (150g) chopped Reese's peanut butter cups
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
03 -
Mix in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until they are evenly blended.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just incorporated.
05 -
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese's peanut butter cups, making sure they are evenly distributed.
06 -
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and space them about two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
07 -
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until the edges turn golden. The centers will appear soft but will set as they cool. Let them rest on the tray for 5 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Notes:
01 -
If the dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 15–20 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading during baking.
02 -
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months.
