Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies – Soft, thick and delicious peanut butter cookies loaded with chocolate chips and peanut butter cups. The ultimate treat for chocolate and peanut butter lovers’!

I am a huge fan of anything with chocolate and peanut butter. Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies are very high up on my all time favorite desserts. And Reese’s Fudge is a staple in our house.

These Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are the ultimate soft and fluffy peanut butter cookie with plenty of chocolate mixed in. Plus no chilling of the dough and they are ready in no time.

Reese’s cookies are quickly going to a favorite for chocolate and peanut butter lovers’. There is just something about the peanut butter-y cookie that is so thick and fluffy that you will keep going back for more.

Peanut Butter makes these so soft and rich, but if you aren’t a huge peanut butter fan try this Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies for something just a bit different than the classic.

Cookie Baking Tips

• The best thing you can do when you make cookies is to under bake them. When you take cookies out of the oven and let them cool on the tray they continue to cook. Not only are they hot on the inside, but the baking tray stays hot, so they will finish cooking on the tray. And under baked cookies are the softest and best cookies.
• Start with room temperature butter. To properly cream butter and sugar together you want the butter to be soft, so it can fully incorporate with the sugar and get to be the right texture.
• Use a cookie scoop to ensure the cookies are all the same size. This way the cookies all bake for the same length of time and are evenly cooked.
