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:

  6. 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.

  8. Optional: Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
