Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies

Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies are loaded with peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and Reese’s pieces candy…a peanut butter lover’s dream! These cookies have an ooey-gooey center that you are going to love. As you can probably tell, I did not skimp on the peanut butter flavor in these cookies. They are the ultimate peanut butter cookie. There is peanut butter in the dough, as well as peanut butter chips, and two whole cups of Reese’s pieces! These cookies are so gooey in the center and perfectly crisp on the outside. Be sure to make these along with a few of my other cookie recipes and put together an awesome dessert charcuterie board!

Ingredients:
1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1½ cups (300 g) light brown sugar, packed
½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (240 g) peanut butter chips
2 cups (376 g) Reese’s pieces

Instructions:
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
To the bowl of a stand mixer* fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Beat on medium-high speed until light and creamy (about 3-5 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low until just combined.
Fold in the peanut butter chips and Reese’s pieces.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Near the end of the chill time, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Using a ¼ cup cookie scoop or measuring cup, scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Using your hands or the bottom of a glass, slightly flatten each ball of dough. (These cookies don’t spread.)
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are golden brown. The center of these cookies will be gooey, but they will continue to bake out of the oven.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
*If you do not have a stand mixer you can use a hand-held mixer.
