How to make Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies 

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies have a peanut butter base and are packed with Reese’s Pieces and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. 

Start by making the base for the Peanut Butter Cookies by creaming the butter and sugars together and then adding all of the wet ingredients together.

Next, add the dry ingredients like flour, baking soda, and salt. Then stir in the peanut butter morsels and a few of the Reese’s Pieces.

Add in a little bit of the crushed Peanut Butter Cups (you will want to save most of the candy for the tops of the cookies). 

Use a cookie scoop to get all of the cookies about the same size and place them on your prepared baking sheet. 

Bake the cookies according to the directions and then let them cool on the baking sheet when you remove them from the oven. 

Top the cookies with extra candies and let cool completely on a cooling rack! 

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter – softened
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanut butter morsels
1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces (divided)
About 12 Reese’s Miniature Cups (chopped)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
With a fork, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in mixing bowl.
Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and mix well.
Next, stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until mixed completely.
Fold in all of the peanut butter morsels and 1/4 cup Reese’s Pieces (save the rest for the tops of the cookies).
Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls and place them 2” apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges start to brown.
Remove from the oven and top with Reese’s Pieces and chopped Reese’s Miniature Cups.
Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Can Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies be frozen?

Yes! My favorite part about these cookies is they are super easy to store in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Freeze them without the extra candy on top, bake according to the directions (no need to thaw), and then top off the cookies with extra candy after baking.

I like to go ahead and make cookie balls and put them in a freezer safe container or freezer bag! That way I just have to put them on the pan and bake accordingly! 

Can I add chocolate chips to these peanut butter cookies?

Absolutely! If you want to add chocolate chips to the recipe instead of the Reese’s Pieces or Reese’s Cups, go for it! It would be the perfect chocolate peanut butter cookie. 

Top the cookies with extra chocolate chips or M&Ms for a fun garnishing! 

Also be sure to try this Easy Monster Cookies Recipe – it’s another favorite packed with peanut butter and chocolate.
