Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies

I’m back from a fun-filled, food-filled, girls trip to Arizona.  On Monday, I left blue skies, clean air and temps in the upper 70s and came home to mostly blue skies, an inversion and temps in the upper 30s. I think I like Arizona much better than Utah right now.

These cookies were part of our food-filled trip.  I had made them right before I left on my trip and they were so good I had to make some for my mom, sister and aunts.  They fell in love with the cookies (and the dough), just like my boys did.

I made them again yesterday which makes three times in one week.  I’m a peanut butter fanatic so these cookies rank right at the top of my list.  Soft, full of peanut butter, Reese’s pieces, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips . . . simply delicious!

4. Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Don’t overbake, they will look undercooked when you take them out. Allow them to rest on cookie sheet for about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you can’t find the mini Reese’s pieces (I found mine at Walmart), just substitute the regular size Reese’s pieces. I would just add an extra 1/2 cup since they are bigger and won’t give you as many when you measure out a cup of them. Also, if you like your cookies a little flatter, you can gently flatten the cookies with the palm of your hand before you bake them.
