How to Make Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, thawed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Reese’s pieces
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a pie plate, shaping decorative flutes along the edge.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well blended.

- Gently stir in Reese’s Pieces and chopped peanut butter cups into the dough.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is golden.
- Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour to set properly before slicing.
- Optional: Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
