🧂 Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Triple Reese’s Boost:
- ½ cup Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- ½ cup Reese’s Pieces candies
- ¼ cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
(Optional: extra for pressing on top)
🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. - Cream the Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes). - Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. - Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. - Fold in the Reese’s Goodies
Gently stir in the chopped Mini Reese’s, Reese’s Pieces, and peanut butter chips. Save a few to press on top of the cookies if you want that Instagram-worthy finish. - Scoop and Shape
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out dough balls (about 1.5 tbsp each) and place them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten with your hand or a spoon. - Bake
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Centers may look slightly underdone—that’s perfect! - Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
