Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheets
Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Once combined, add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
Step 4: Fold in the Reeseโs Peanut Butter Cups
Carefully fold in the chopped mini Reeseโs Peanut Butter Cups. Be gentle to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough without breaking them apart too much.
Step 5: Shape the Dough and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a slightly rounded cookie shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. The cookies will continue to cook a little as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: Drizzle with Peanut Butter
While the cookies are cooling, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until itโs smooth and pourable. Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the cooled cookies using a spoon or a piping bag for a more controlled drizzle.
Step 7: Enjoy!
Once the peanut butter drizzle has set, your Triple Reeseโs Peanut Butter Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! These cookies are perfect for sharing with family, friends, or anyone who appreciates the glorious combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
Tips for the Perfect Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies:
- Use Mini Reeseโs Peanut Butter Cups: Mini Reeseโs work best for these cookies, as they are easier to chop and distribute evenly throughout the dough.
- Donโt Overbake: Peanut butter cookies can easily dry out if baked too long. Keep an eye on the edgesโthey should just be turning golden, and the center should still look a little soft.
- Chill the Dough (Optional): If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape better while baking.
- Customize with Toppings: Feel free to sprinkle extra chopped Reeseโs pieces or even some sea salt on top of the drizzled peanut butter for an extra sweet-salty treat.
