Chocolate Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon espresso powder
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Reese's Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream together for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder and mix to combine. Fold in the Reese's Pieces.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out cookie dough and place cookies about a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.* Top with more Reese's candies, if desired.
- Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes. Edges will be firm and the center will be slightly soft. Remove from oven and let rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
*You should be able to fit 6-8 cookies per baking sheet.
