Ingredients
- ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus 2 additional tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups Reese's Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, and set aside.
- In a large glass bowl, cream the peanut butter, applesauce and sugars together with a hand mixer, blending until smooth.
- Crack the eggs, then pour them into the batter. Add the vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, then slowly add them to the batter, using the mixer on a low speed until the batter starts to come together. Beat on a higher speed until smooth and combined.
- Sprinkle in the Reese's Pieces, and fold into the batter using a rubber spatula.
- Dollop the batter on the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon (or a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop.) Space 1/2" apart so the cookies can spread. Press the cookies down with the palm of your hand, then place a few additional Reese's Pieces on to the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set, and remove from the oven.
- Cool on a wire cooling rack, and then enjoy!
