Ingredients You’ll Need:

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Miniatures
- 1/2 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is key for a soft texture.
Step 3: Add Egg and Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Step 5: Stir in the Reese’s Trio
Fold in Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s Miniatures, and mini peanut butter chips. You can chill the dough for 30 minutes if you want thicker cookies.
Step 6: Scoop the Dough
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to form dough balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. They’ll continue baking as they cool.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let the cookies sit on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
Tips for Success:
- Use room temperature butter and peanut butter for easier mixing.
- Don’t skip chilling if your dough feels sticky.
- Want even more texture? Add crushed peanuts or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
