Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese's Pieces Cookies
A favourite flavour combination, chocolate peanut butter cookies are even better with Reese's Pieces.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- ⅔ cup Reese's Pieces candy plus extra for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a stand mixer, combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and white sugar and beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Pour into mixer and beat on medium-low speed until dry mixture is incorporated into wet ingredients.
- Add Reese's Pieces on low speed just until mixed into dough.
- Scoop dough by spoonfuls and roll into balls, keeping sizes the same. Place on ungreased baking sheet, leaving room between balls for expansion.
- Using the back of a mug or glass, press into each ball to form circular disk. Wet the back of the glass with cold water if it's sticking.
- Press Reese's Pieces into cookie dough in pattern of your choice.
- Bake in upper half of oven for 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
