Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces candies
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Gently fold in the Reese's Pieces candies using a spatula or spoon.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Use the back of a fork to slightly flatten each ball of dough, creating a crisscross pattern if desired.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
