Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

2. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.

6. Fold in the Chocolate and Reese’s: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop and Place on Baking Sheet: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between each cookie bite to allow for spreading.

8. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set. Be careful not to overbake them, as they will continue to cook as they cool.

9. Cool: Allow the cookie bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs

Can I make these cookies with crunchy peanut butter?

Yes, you can substitute crunchy peanut butter for a more textured bite, but it will slightly change the consistency.

Can I use regular-sized Reese’s cups instead of mini ones?

Absolutely! Just chop the regular Reese’s cups into smaller pieces to ensure they’re distributed evenly in the dough.

How can I prevent overbaking the cookies?

Keep a close eye on the cookies during the last minute of baking. As soon as the edges turn golden and the center is set, take them out, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.

Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

Yes, almond butter will work well as a substitute for peanut butter, though the flavor will be slightly different.
