These peanut butter Reese’s Pieces cookies might remind you of the old-fashioned peanut butter cookies your grandma used to bake you when you were a kid, but with a fun twist of adding in peanut butter candies!  Enjoy with a tall glass of milk and share with friends and family!

My favorite thing about this recipe is how they crumble and taste almost like an old-fashioned peanut butter cookie, but with Reese’s pieces giving it a bit more crunch and textural difference!

Reese’s Pieces Cookies Ingredients

To make Reese’s Cookies, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):

• Unsalted Butter
• Peanut Butter
• Light Brown Sugar
• Flour
• Cornstarch
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Reese’s Pieces: You can make these cookies more chocolatey by replacing ¼ to ½ of the Reese’s Pieces with chocolate chips.

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies with Reese’s Pieces

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
2. Cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugar with a handheld or stand mixer (or soften the butter enough to cream everything together with just a spoon)
3. Add all dry ingredients except Reese Pieces, and stir well until it forms a dough.
4. Fold in the Reese Pieces.
5. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet and then press each cookie down with a fork, as you would with any peanut butter cookie.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before enjoying.

Recipe Tips

• Wet the fork before pressing it into the cookies for best results.
• Be sure to actually flatten the cookies with the fork, these will not flatten in the oven while baking, they do however rise.
• To make perfectly round cookies, take a large glass upside down and make a circular motion with the cookie inside the cup to round out the edges.
