Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup mini Reese's cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until well blended and smooth.
- Crack the large egg into the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Whisk or mix until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes uniform.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and stir until completely combined.
- Roughly chop the mini Reese's cups into smaller pieces, ensuring they are of varying sizes for texture variation.
- Gently fold the chopped Reese's cups and chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly press down on each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten, which helps with even baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the Reese's cups and chocolate chips to solidify.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or enjoy immediately while slightly warm.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the peanut butter and sugar if possible, as this ensures consistency in your cookies.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your egg come to room temperature before mixing it into the dough. This helps create a smoother batter and better texture in your cookies.
- Chop Reese's Cups Carefully: When chopping the mini Reese's cups, aim for a mix of larger and smaller pieces. This variation will add delightful texture and pockets of chocolate throughout your cookies.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on your cookies while they’re in the oven. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cooling Time: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly and prevents them from breaking apart.
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, you can freeze them and enjoy them later!
