Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- ¾ cup peanut butter creamy
- ¾ cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Candies
- ¾ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- Candy eyes optional
- salt optional, coarse, for sprinkling cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or use silpat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time and then vanilla. Beat in peanut butter until just combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in peanut butter candies and chocolate chips.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough at a time (you can use a cookie scoop, I use my ice cream scoop!) onto baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt if using.
- Bake cookies for 11 minutes, remove from oven and top with candy eyes (if using). Return to oven for another 2 minutes. If not adding candy eyes, just bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are firm.
- Cool on baking sheet (they will be soft before they cool and may fall apart if you try to transfer them).

Notes
- Adapted from Food 52
- *I used conventional peanut butter, as I always do when baking. I'm not sure how these would turn out with natural peanut butter.
