Ingredients
1cupUnsalted Butter, softened
1cupCreamy Peanut Butter
1cupGranulated Sugar
1cupPacked Brown Sugar
2largeEggs
2teaspoonsVanilla Extract
3cupsAll-Purpose Flour
1teaspoonBaking Soda
1/2teaspoonBaking Powder
1/2teaspoonSalt
1cupReese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped(mini or regular)
1cupPeanut Butter Chips
1/2cupSemi-Sweet Chocolate Chips(optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated—avoid over-mixing to keep cookies tender.
Fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips (if using) evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
