Ingredients

- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp. real vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)

- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 3 cups chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions

- Rotate cookies on racks every 6 to 7 minutes of baking time.
Notes
NOTE: When I was baking two racks at a time, my cookies took 21 minutes to bake. When I baked a single rack (and didn’t need to rotate the cookies), the cookies took about 15 minutes to bake. Smaller cookies won’t take so long to bake.
