Reese's Pieces Cookies
Description
These cookies start with creaming together unsalted butter, chunky peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Eggs are added one at a time with vanilla extract to build structure and flavor. Flour, baking soda, and salt are incorporated on low speed to create the dough, which is then folded with one cup of Reese's Pieces candies. Chilling the dough for an hour helps prevent spreading during baking, promoting a thicker cookie.
When ready to bake, two-tablespoon dough balls are scooped, and remaining Reese's Pieces are pressed on top before baking at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. This results in cookies with a chewy interior, lightly crisp edges, and prominent peanut butter candy notes from the Reese's Pieces. The colorful candies add texture and bursts of sweetness throughout.
These cookies make a sweet peanut butter treat with a candy twist, great for sharing or snacking. The dough chilling step improves cookie shape and texture, and the candies provide a playful appearance and flavor contrast.
