Peanut Butter Reese’s Cookies

Peanut Butter Reese’s Cookies! Adding peanut butter to these cookies boosts the flavor and adds so much to these cookies! (I used the No-Stir Natural Peanut Butter from Sam’s.)

How to make these Reese’s Stuffed Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!

First, put 15 or 16 Peanut Butter Cups in the freezer to start hardening.

Next, add softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar to a bowl and cream all together.

Then, mix in the vanilla, egg, and peanut butter.

Now measure out the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix together until combined.

Fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and the Mini Chocolate Chips.

Next, use a 2 tablespoon scoop and a 1 tablespoon scoop to make 15 cookie dough balls with each sized scoop.

(You will need 15 cookie dough balls made with the 2 tablespoon scoop and 15 cookie dough balls made with the 1 tablespoon scoop.)

Take the 2 tablespoon cookie dough balls and press them down on the cookie sheet. Top each one with a frozen Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Then place the 1 tablespoon cookie dough balls on top of the frozen Reese’s Cups and press the cookie dough around the Reese’s Cup.

This will seal the edges and make a large, stuffed cookie dough ball.

Bake the cookies for 9 minutes and then remove from the oven.

Sprinkle them with sea salt and more Mini Chocolate Chips.

Finally, allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking rack before moving them to a cooling rack or serving. ENJOY!

Reese’s Stuffed Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yields: 15 Cookies
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 9 minutes
Additional time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter (I used the No- Stir Natural Peanut Butter from Sam’s)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (option to pull a few out to garnish the cookie at the end)
About 5 standard Reese’s cups chopped
15-16 Reese’s cups for center of the cookies
Sea Salt to Garnish

Directions:
Place 15-16 peanut butter cups in the freezer before you begin so they can start to harden.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
În a medium sized mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together.
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and mix well.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until the flour is combined.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s cups.
Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop and a one tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls (one of each for each cookie). (So you will need 15 one tablespoon cookie dough balls and 15 two tablespoon cookie dough balls).
Press a two tablespoon cookie dough ball down and top it with a frozen Reese’s cup. Put the one tablespoon cookie dough ball on top and press it around the Reese’s cup.
Seal the edges so the Reese’s is fully covered and makes a ball.
After the cookie dough balls are “stuffed”, place the cookie dough balls about 3” apart on the baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt and a few extra miniature chocolate chips (optional).
Let cool completely on the baking sheet (this could take 15-20 minutes) and enjoy!

Notes:
● Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
● Cookie dough balls can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months and then baked according to the directions above.
● If you want larger cookies, use a two tablespoon cookie scoop for both cookie dough balls.
● After experimenting, I like to use the 2 tablespoon cookie dough ball on the BOTTOM of the cookie so there is a thicker base under the Reese’s cup.

How long does it take to bake Reese’s Cookies?

I baked mine for 9 minutes. The center of the cookie isn’t quite set yet, but the edges are starting to brown.

Then I let them cool completely on baking sheet – allowing them to continue “cooking” while keeping the center soft and chewy! My favorite!

Do you have to refrigerate Peanut Butter Reese’s Cookie dough before baking?

No, you don’t have to chill this Reese’s Chocolate Chip Cookie dough before baking. Although you do want to freeze the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups when you start the recipe.

Freezing the Reese’s Cups ahead of time allows them to keep their shape while baking and not melt too much inside the cookies.

How do you store Reese’s Stuffed Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Reese’s Stuffed Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies store best in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

You could also freeze the individual cookie dough balls for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Just bake according to the instructions when you want some!
