    I have been recipe testing to find the perfect peanut butter cookies to share, and I actually made this one by accident! I was making my Peanut Butter Cups and had some leftover cookie dough. I added some Reese’s cups and popped it into the fridge for 20 minutes to chill, then rolled the dough into balls and baked them. Annnnnd these are the results. How incredible, right? The cookie dough is so soft and the cookies melt-in-your-mouth. I love creating new recipes by accident. A must-try!

    • The perfect recipe for any chocolate peanut butter lover.
    • Thick and dense cookie.
    • Loaded with peanut butter AND Reese’s cups.

    Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Cookies

    Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter: Using other sorts of peanut butter risks the cookies not turning out well. Stay away from all natural peanut butters and only use smooth or crunchy!

    Do not over bake the chocolate peanut butter cookies: They should not be a dark brown at all on the bottom/sides. Keep a close eye after the seven minute mark! Baking them for the perfect time will allow your cookies to taste like the middle of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Soft and full of peanut butter goodness.

    Step by Step Instructions

    • Make the dough: In a stand mixer, beat the peanut butter, butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg. Add in the flour and baking soda and mix just until combined.
    • Add the candy. Stir in the peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips.
    • Place in fridge: Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. This is crucial to allow the cookie dough to set and not spread while baking.
    • Scoop the cookies. Scoop and place onto parchment or silicone mat lined cookie sheets about two inches apart. Roll the cookies with your hands to create perfectly round cookies. Your hands are the best tools in the kitchen!
    • Bake the cookies: Into the oven for 10 minutes to create the perfect soft cookie.

    FAQ

    My cookies turned out dry! Why?

    This is most likely because the flour was measured incorrectly. To properly measure flour, scoop it with a spoon into your measuring cup. Then flatten the top off with a knife. Don’t scoop it with your measuring cup. A scale always helps as well for precise measurement.

    Can I use dark brown sugar?

    Yes! Just use the same amount.

    I only have crunchy peanut butter! Help?

    Smooth and crunchy both work, use the same measurements. Do not use natural peanut butter.
