Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup Reese’s Pieces
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in ¾ cup Reese’s Pieces, reserving the rest for topping.
Shape and Bake:
Roll dough into 1½-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Gently press down each dough ball slightly and sprinkle the remaining Reese’s Pieces on top.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
