Ingredients

All-purpose flour

Salt

Butter
Butter adds richness and helps create a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Creamy peanut butter
Creamy peanut butter forms the base flavor of the cookies, delivering richness and moisture.

Granulated sugar

Brown sugar

Eggs

Vanilla extract

Reese’s peanut butter cups

Reese’s pieces

Peanut butter chips

Directions

Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, Reese’s pieces, and peanut butter chips evenly throughout the dough.

Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations and Customizations

Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are easy to adapt. You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for added texture or use mini Reese’s cups for more even distribution. When I tested these with mini cups, every bite had chocolate and peanut butter.

For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies or press additional Reese’s pieces on top before baking. You can also chill the dough for thicker cookies with less spread. These variations allow you to customize the cookies while preserving their rich, peanut butter-forward character.
