Description
Delightful and easy-to-make cookies featuring creamy peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, and Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (212 grams)
- 1/2 cup salted butter (4 ounces, room temperature)
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar (200 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (3 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (2 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (6 grams)
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (163 grams)
- 2 cups quartered miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups (295 grams)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (86 grams)
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- In a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter and butter until well blended.
- Beat in the sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Then beat in the egg and the vanilla.
- Add in the flour and mix just until combined. Stir in the peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop a 1 1/2″ cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls that are 1 1/2″ thick (about 58 grams) onto parchment or silicone mat or parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
- Press down lightly with a glass that has been dipped in sugar.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. Then move them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- If you’d like a chocolate drizzle on top, microwave the chocolate chips in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate chips, then microwave again in 10 second increments, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is melted.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the baked cookies. Allow the chocolate drizzle to dry completely and then store the cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
- These cookies will not spread much while baking, so press them slightly for a nice shape.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
