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!

Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
½ cup + 2 TBSP butter softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 cups combined chocolate chips/ Reese’s

Instructions

Start preheating the oven to 375° F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
Using a large bowl and an electric hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, white sugar and brown sugar, until smooth and blended.
Next, beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, mix well. Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and stir well. Then, add in 2 cups of chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mini Reese's pieces or regular Reese's Pieces- any combo you'd like! (I used about ½ cup of each, reserving some of the Reese's Pieces for the top of the cookies.)
Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place the dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Press additional Reese's Pieces onto each cookie dough ball. Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. (Be careful to not overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through. I baked the cookies scooped with the medium 1.5 TBSP scoop for 8 minutes and the 3 TBSP cookies for 10 minutes.)
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to completely cool. Enjoy!

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.

Cookies and/ or cookie dough can be frozen for up to 2 months.

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.

The most amazing Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are made with a full cup of peanut butter! Packed with lots of chocolate chips, peanut butter chips & Reese’s Pieces, to create the best chocolate peanut butter cookies!

Giant peanut butter cookies recipe

We’re calling these cookies “giant” because of their size. They can easily outweigh a regular-sized cookie and the size is about that of the palm of your hand, if not larger. Large cookies are something we are enjoying more and more here lately but nothing beats that classic taste of peanut butter and chocolate. The only way to improve is to make the experience last longer and that’s what we did here by increasing the cookie size.

Giant Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients

-Butter: You will need ½ cup (one stick) of unsalted butter.

-Sugars: Use 3/4 cup of brown sugar and ¼ cup of granulated white sugar for a sweet and chewy cookie.

-Egg: You will need 1 large egg to help bind the dough together well.

-Vanilla: Use a teaspoon of vanilla extract to make the dough well flavored.

-Peanut butter: We want a lot of great taste so adding in ½ cup of peanut butter will give us a great cookie packed with flavor.

-Flour: The base of the cookie dough mixture is 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

-Salt: To help naturally enhance the flavors in the dough use ½ teaspoon of salt.

-Baking powder: This is a leavening agent that will help the cookies to puff up nicely. Use ½ teaspoon of baking powder.

-Candies: You will need 1 ¼ cups each of semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, Reese’s Mini cups and Reese’s Pieces candy.

How to make Reeses Peanut butter cookies

Cream together the butter and both sugars until fluffy.

Beat in the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter.

Add in your flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. The dough will appear very crumbly.

Add in ¼ cup each of the semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and Reese’s pieces, stirring them into the dough.

Divide the dough out into 6 equal-sized portions and form each one into a ball.

Press the remaining chips and Reese’s Mini cups & Reese’s Pieces all over the top and sides of the cookies.

Place the cookies in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.

While the cookies are chilling, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Bake your cookies for 18 minutes and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Nutrition

How long are peanut butter cookies good for?

These cookies are still tasting great about 3 days later but you should make sure to eat them within a week or freeze the cookies if you can’t eat within that timeframe. This will help so that they don’t go to waste. Keep them stored in an airtight container for maximum freshness.

Do I have to chill the cookie dough?

Yes, chilling the dough is what gets the cookies to firm up and hold their shape better through the baking process. If you chose to bake without chilling the dough you will notice that the cookies spread further and aren’t the same fluffy soft texture as they are if child. Plus the additional time helps the flavors to develop more so it’s worth it.

Earlier this summer 3 of my 5 kids were away at overnight camps, which left my youngest 2 with their own rooms for the week! Score, right?! Wrong. See, the problem with being kid #4 or #5 is that you’re just not used to being alone. Ever. So all it took was an hour alone and sure enough, these two were suddenly bunking with me. At least their had their own bed. It was a fun, week-long slumber party!
