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.
