Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
- 18 large Reese’s peanut butter cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and eggs until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Flatten slightly and place a Reese’s cup in the center, then wrap the dough around it to fully enclose the candy.
- Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too soft to handle.
- Use mini Reese’s cups for smaller cookies or cut the large ones in half.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For an extra gooey center, slightly underbake the cookies.
