Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Packed
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg Room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Smooth and at room temperature
- 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Measured and leveled
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces Whole
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined, then stir in the 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to distribute the leavening evenly.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined — avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Fold in 1 cup Reese’s Pieces gently so they don’t bleed color into the dough.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. If you want a more pronounced peanut-butter center, press a small extra dollop of peanut butter into the center of each dough mound before baking.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned but centers still look soft. They will firm as they cool.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
