Talk about amazing.

Every now and then I have to bake up cookies to restock our freezer. John usually takes out one or two containers every week and gives them away. I was getting a little low a few weeks ago and looked in my pantry and saw a bag of peanut butter chips and some Reese’s peanut butter cups that looked like they needed a new home. 🙂 Well they found their new home in this delicious recipe. I was ecstatic with the way these heavenly cookies turned out.
If you’re looking for a way to use up Halloween candy, or want to spring a great new cookie on friends this fall or for Christmas baking, I can’t recommend Ultimate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies enough. They’re rich in chocolate and peanut butter flavors. In fact, the cookie is so decadent you will be hard pressed to stop at just one. You may have to give most of them away like I did….that is if you want to keep your school boy or school girl figure. Just saying….
Ultimate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies really are the ultimate in a peanut butter cookie!
If you enjoy peanut butter, you’ll love these cookies!
Beware! Ultimate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are addictive!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Place softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Cream ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add peanut butter chips and Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon until combined.
Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Roll dough into balls and place on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes or until done. (My cookies took about 20 minutes to bake).
These outrageous cookies are perfect for tailgating parties.
These amazing cookies are rich, decadent and heavenly!
Every bite will have you drooling.
Ultimate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are the perfect cookies to make after Halloween when you want to use up extra Halloween candy.
Here’s the recipe.

What if the dough is too dry or like won’t clump very well?

You need a little more moisture or use less flour. Either a little bit of egg or butter will bring it around. Some flours seem thicker than others. Maybe next time reduce by 1/4 to 1/3 cup on the flour.

Bought a bag of peanut butter chips by mistake and decided to try this as an experiment. One of the best cookies I have ever made – and we don’t even like Reese’s cups or peanut butter!
