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.

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.

Scoop dough into 3 tbsp balls (or use a medium sized cookie/ice cream scoop) and place on the lined cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Add some of the extra Reese's pieces on top of each cookie dough ball.

Bake for 11 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Cool to room temperature on the pan before moving.

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.
