ingredients for REESE’S COOKIES

You will need:

• 2 cups of flour 
• 2 sticks of butter, softened 
• 1 1/4 cups of creamy peanut butter 
• 3/4 cup of light brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of white sugar 
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda 
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder 
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of Reese’s Pieces candy + 1/2 cup extra for the topping

SUBSTITUTIONS and ADDITIONS

Creamy Peanut Butter: We used smooth peanut butter for this recipe, but you could use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer.

Light Brown Sugar: If you don’t have this, you can use white sugar and a tablespoon of molasses.

Baking Soda and Baking Powder: These are two different things and baking soda is three times as powerful as baking powder. If you only have baking soda, use 1 1/3 teaspoons of it plus a teaspoon of lemon juice. If you only have baking powder, use 4 teaspoons of it.

Chocolate Chips: If you like chocolatey cookies, you could throw in an extra cup of chocolate chips along with the Reese’s Pieces.

HOW TO MAKE THIS REESE’S COOKIEs RECIPE

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

STEP TWO In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. 

STEP THREE: Add the butter and peanut butter. Then cream together with a hand mixer.

STEP FOUR: Add the white sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Mix together until light and fluffy.

STEP FIVE: Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until combined.

STEP SIX: Slowly add the flour and mix until just incorporated.

STEP SEVEN: Stir in two cups of Reese’s Pieces candy. (The 1/2 cup of the candies are for topping the cookies before baking).

STEP EIGHT Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

PRO TIP: Chilling the dough prevents it from spreading in the oven.

STEP NINE: Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a cookie dough scoop or a tablespoon, dollop the dough onto the cookie sheet. Use the heel of your hand to press each blob into a cookie shape. Add a few candies on top of each one.

STEP TEN: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown.

STEP ELEVEN: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the sheet.

STORAGE

AT ROOM TEMPERATURE: You can store Reese’s cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze Reese’s cookies for up to three months. Place the cookie sheet into the freezer until they are frozen solid, then you can transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. Defrost at room temperature and warm in the oven for five minutes if desired.

Reese’s Pieces peanut butter cookies are similar to regular chocolate chip cookies, but with the addition of Reese’s Pieces candies and peanut butter. If you’re a fan of peanut butter, this is one cookie recipe that you’re sure to make again and again.
