Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar dark; packed
  • 2 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter unsalted, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 Tbsp. milk whole
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Reese's miniature peanut butter cups chopped, or more as desired to cover top prior to baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, salt and baking powder until combined.
  3. In another medium sized bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, butter, milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add peanut butter mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined with a rubber spatula.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Spray a 9x9 inch aluminum square baking pan with baking spray.
  7. Turn batter into pan and spread evenly. Top with chopped Reese's mini cup pieces over batter.
  8. Bake for 19-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. (*Note: if baking in a glass pan, baking time will be increased).
  9. Cool on a wire rack, cut and enjoy!

Notes

  • peanut butter
  • peanut butter
  • 9x9 inch pan
  • Freeze in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
  • I love using creamy peanut butter, but if you like a little more crunch to your cookie you can always substitute crunchy peanut butter for the creamy. Or, use almond butter or your favorite nut butter.
  • Pop the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds so it gets melty and drippy so it's easier to whisk into the other ingredients. 
  • Top with flaky sea salt (such as Maldon) as an optional finishing touch!
  • This recipe calls for a 9x9 inch pan (I use a non-stick aluminum), but if you choose to use a 9x9 inch glass pan, reduce the oven temperature by 25 degrees. The cooking time also might take a bit longer since glass slows the flow of heat between the oven's air and the blondie batter.
