Equipment

  • 3 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 sharp knife to chop Hershey's Nugget candies
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 2 cups Hershey's Nuggets chopped (I used the solid milk chocolate ones)

Instructions
 

  • Mix butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer.
  • Stir in flour and Hershey’s Nuggets until very well combined.
  • This may take 4 to 5 minutes to get the dough thoroughly mixed.
  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Place 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
  • Press down very lightly in criss-cross fashion with a fork.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until set but not hard.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every six minutes while baking.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: Use 3 1/2 cups flour as a baseline. Only use more if necessary to get the ingredients to hold together.
