Ultimate Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies
Ultimate Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies really are the "ultimate." These spectacular cookies are filled with peanut butter chips & Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They use an amazing Mrs. Field's copycat recipe for chocolate chip cookies. They are truly the ultimate peanut butter cookie and are perfect for holiday baking or as a way to use up leftover Halloween candy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 tsp. real vanilla extract (no imitation vanilla flavoring)
- 3 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
- 3/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups Reese's miniature peanut butter cups quartered
- 10-oz. pkg. Reese's peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder and baking soda with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Stir in flour, peanut butter candies and peanut butter chips with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Shape dough with hands into golf ball-sized dough balls and place a couple inches apart on greased cookie sheets.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until edges are light brown.
- Rotate cookie sheets on racks about every 7 minutes while baking.
Notes
NOTE: There are times when I’m making a double batch of this recipe where I have to add an additional quarter to half cup of flour in order to be able to roll the dough into balls. If the dough gets too sticky. Add a little flour to the batter.
NOTE: My cookies took almost 20 minutes to bake.
