Deliciously soft and chewy peanut butter cookies loaded with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for an extra burst of chocolate and peanut butter flavor.
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (about 6 standard cups)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups evenly into the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Optional: Gently press down each dough ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
