Reese's Pieces Cookies
Description
This recipe uses box chocolate cake mix as a base, combined with softened butter, brown sugar, eggs, and water to form a soft cookie dough enriched with peanut butter candy inclusions. Stirring in Reese's peanut butter chips, candy pieces, and chopped miniature peanut butter cups ensures that each bite has dynamic peanut butter and chocolate character.
Baking at 350°F for 11-13 minutes yields cookies with a moist and tender texture balancing the sweetness of the cake mix and the candy’s distinct peanut butter flavor. Using a cookie scoop helps produce evenly sized cookies for uniform baking. Lining the baking sheet with parchment prevents sticking and facilitates cleanup.
For convenience, dough balls can be frozen for up to three months and baked directly from frozen after thawing. Transfer baked cookies promptly to a cooling rack to preserve texture.
