Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
I modified Nellie’s recipe for The BEST Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies to include Reese’s Pieces and they are absolutely fantastic! The cookies are so soft, have a great peanut butter flavor and the chocolate and peanut butter chunks are extra delicious.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients
Peanut butter: For lots of amazing flavor, use 1 cup of creamy peanut butter.
Butter: Adding in ½ cup + 2 TBSP of butter, softened, will help make these cookies rich in taste.
Sugar: You will need ½ cup of granulated sugar to create nice chewy, soft cookies.
Brown sugar: Use ½ cup of brown sugar to give these treats a lovely depth of flavor.
Egg: Add 1 egg to the dough to help bind the ingredients together and give the dough great texture.
Milk: You will want to add in ¼ cup of milk to make the dough nice and moist.
Vanilla extract: To help enhance all the wonderful flavors, add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
Flour: For the structural base of this cookie dough, use 1 ½ cups of flour.
Baking powder: Using 1 tsp of baking powder will help these cookies rise as they bake.
Salt: Adding ½ tsp of salt will help balance the sweetness in this cookie dough.
Candy: You will want 2 cups of combined chocolate chips/Reese’s Pieces/ Peanut Butter chips, to make the most amazing and delicious cookies EVER!
HOW LONG ARE THESE COOKIES GOOD FOR?
These cookies can last about 5 days, if stored in an airtight container, at room temperature. These cookies do not require refrigeration but can be placed in the fridge if desired.
CAN I FREEZE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES?
Yes, these cookies can do very well in the freezer! You can freeze them after they’ve been baked, for up to 3 months in an airtight container, or place the scooped balls of dough in the freezer for up to 2 months before baking.
If you freeze the dough, you’ll want to freeze them on a baking sheet for 2 hours before transferring them to an airtight container. Then place them on a baking sheet at room temperature as the oven preheats and bake as directed.

Parchment is my favorite to use as well – LOVE these cookies and wish I didn’t have to share them! So good!
April says
Oh my gosh, talk about peanut butter chocolate overload! I love it! I think these will definitely be making a regular appearance in my house.
Lindsay says
Wow, those look amazing! I’m glad I stopped by Modest Mondays today to see this gem. I don’t usually like Reese’s Pieces since they don’t have any chocolate in them (peanut butter M&M’s do), but this solves that problem nicely.
