Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 8 Tbsp (1 stick) butter room temperature
  • 1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Cups chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugars, butter and peanut butter. Beat for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add vanilla, then mix. Add egg then egg yolk. Mix until just combined.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder. With mixing speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients- mix until just combined.
  • Remove bowl from stand and gently fold in Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup chunks. Form balls of dough using a standard size cookie scoop. Place on sheet and gently pat down with the palm of your hand (just flatten it slightly or use a fork and make a criss cross pattern in each).
  • Place in oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Cookies will be slightly soft, but that’s ok. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with a big glass of cold milk!
