    Step by Step Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in peanut butter and mix until ingredients are well combined. Mix in eggs and vanilla.

    In a separate medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

    wet and dry ingredients for the peanut butter cookies

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until no flour streaks remain. Stir in the mini Reese's Pieces but keep about 1/4 cup aside to place on top of the cookie dough balls.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?

    Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then scrape with a knife to level off the access. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour cause the flour to compress and getting more than the recipe calls for.

    STORING THE COOKIES

    Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies stay good for up to four days if stored properly.

    HOW TO GET PERFECTLY ROUND COOKIES

    As soon as the baked cookies are pulled from the oven place a round cookie cutter (a little bit large than the cookies) around the cookies and gently swirl it around. This will give your cookie a round shape. If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can use a glass or a jar lid.

    CAN I MAKE THE COOKIES SMALLER?

    Yes you can! You can scoop out 1.5t tbsp of dough and bake for 8 minutes.

      These are honestly the best cookies I have ever made! having gone through many a bad recipe I wasn’t sure if these would turn out to be the cookies that were described, but these cookies far exceeded my expectations they are chewy, soft, crispy on the outside and everything I want in a cookie. I will be definitely using more recipes from this blog.

      These look great! I’m going to make these tomorrow... does the recipe use salted or unsalted butter?

      I made these without the reese's pieces because I was looking for a good soft peanut butter cookie. These were delicious, will be making them again? Thank you.
