Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to whip up these decadent, peanut butter-packed cookies? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Step 4: Fold in the Reese’s Goodness
- Gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces and chopped mini peanut butter cups, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Scoop and Shape the Cookies
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough into balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press a few extra Reese’s Pieces into the tops of the dough balls for decoration, if desired. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes for a sweet-and-salty touch.
