Delight in the sweet and crunchy Reese’s Pieces Cookies, a simple yet irresistible treat combining buttery cookie dough with the iconic candy for bursts of peanut butter flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups Reese’s Pieces candy

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  4. Fold in Reese’s Pieces: Gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces candy, ensuring they are evenly distributed without melting.
  5. Shape Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them spaced apart on the baking sheets.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookie edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter and egg to ensure proper mixing.
  • Do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • You can substitute Reese’s Pieces with other peanut butter candies if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
