Ingredients
1/2cupUnsalted Buttersoftened, room temperature
1/2cupCreamy Peanut Buttersmooth, room temperature
1/2cupBrown Sugarpacked
1/4cupGranulated Sugar
1largeEggroom temperature
1teaspoonVanilla Extract
1cupAll-Purpose Flourmeasured and leveled
1/2teaspoonBaking Soda
1/4teaspoonSalt
1/2cupMini Chocolate Chips
1/4cupChopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupsroughly chopped into small pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth. This takes about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed or 4–5 minutes by hand.
Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and slightly glossy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix — stop when there are no streaks of flour.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups until evenly distributed through the dough.
Scoop dough into 1-inch balls (use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon) and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet — about 1.5 to 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Refrigerate if your kitchen is hot — they will last up to 7 days refrigerated.
