Ingredients

  • Wet Ingredients:
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • ½ cup packed brown sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Add-ins:
    • ½ cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
    • ½ cup Reese’s Pieces
    • ½ cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

Method

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s cups, Reese’s Pieces, and peanut butter chips. Make sure the mix is even, so every cookie gets a little bit of everything.
  5. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hand or a fork.
  6. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft. Do not overbake—these cookies are best soft and chewy.
  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

History & Formation

Peanut butter cookies date back to the early 1900s in the United States, with peanut butter itself gaining popularity around the same time. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, created in 1928 by H.B. Reese, became the iconic chocolate-and-peanut-butter treat we know today. Combining them into cookies is a modern twist, forming a “triple threat” of peanut butter goodness: the cookie base, the cups, and the pieces. This layered indulgence represents the evolution of classic American desserts into bold, flavor-packed creations.

Conclusion

The result? Cookies that are chewy, rich, and explosively peanut buttery—perfect for anyone who loves a sweet, nutty, chocolate-filled bite. Each cookie is a miniature treasure chest of Reese’s delights, making them irresistible for kids and adults alike.

Lovers’ Notes

  • For Cookie Lovers: Double the batch and freeze some dough—fresh, warm cookies are always better.
  • For Chocolate Lovers: Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a gooey crown.
  • For Peanut Butter Lovers: Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.

Fun Methods for Lovers

  • Dipping Method: Dip cooled cookies in melted chocolate for extra decadence.
  • Stacking Method: Sandwich ice cream between two cookies for a frozen treat.
  • Sharing Method: Wrap in parchment and give as gifts—cookie lovers will swoon.
