Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies combine a rich peanut butter cookie dough with peanut butter morsels and chopped Reese's peanut butter cups pressed on top. This results in a buttery, soft cookie featuring multiple layers of peanut butter flavor and texture—from dough to candy pieces. Baking produces cookies that are initially soft, firming up upon cooling to a chewy consistency with pockets of candy.

Notes
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to prevent breaking since they are soft hot out of the oven.
- Use different Reese's peanut butter cup varieties, like dark or white chocolate, for flavor variations.
- Store cookies in an airtight container and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
