Can I add chocolate chips too?

Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips to this recipe is simple and results in a tasty cookie. I'd go with half chocolate chips and half Reese's bits, for a total of 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 3/4 cup Reese's pieces.

How long do cookies keep?

When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these cookies will last 3-4 days.

This dough does freeze well. Prepare and roll the dough balls on a baking sheet, then flash freeze the baking sheet. Once the dough balls have frozen for about an hour or two, remove them off the baking sheet and put them in a large ziptop bag in the freezer for 3 months. When you're ready to bake, simply take the dough balls out of the freezer and let them come to room temperature while the oven heats up. Bake according to package directions.

Is there chocolate in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

Despite the fact that they share a name with chocolate peanut butter cups and a brown tint, which I guess we all assumed meant they were chocolate?! A closer look at a box of Reese's Pieces reveals that it is advertised as "peanut butter candy in a crunchy shell," with no mention of chocolate.

Reese's Pieces Cookies Recipe (Monster Peanut Butter)

Description

Reese’s Pieces Cookies are chocolate chip cookies that are packed with Reese’s Pieces instead of chocolate chips! This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, made even better by the candy’s peanut butter crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup (66 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (104g) light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (186g) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Reese’s Pieces Candy use regular ones or the minis in the baking aisle

Instructions

Melted butter should be placed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Mix in the granulated and brown sugars on low speed until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract on medium speed until well mixed.
Mix in the baking soda and salt, then gradually add the flour, mixing only until the dough is smooth and comes together. While mixing, make careful to scrape down the edges of the basin. Slowly fold in the Reese’s Pieces.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, line a second cookie sheet.
Remove the cooled cookie dough balls from the refrigerator and place them on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-15 minutes, or until the edges are light brown and the tops are no longer glossy, for 2 tablespoon-sized cookies. Allow at least 10 minutes for the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets before removing.

Notes

Do you want to combine chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces? 1 cup of each is required.

If your cookies aren’t smoothing out, it’s because they’re too cold. To help them flatten, lightly press them with the palm of your hand before placing them in the oven. Also, when you remove the pan from the oven after baking, tap it on the stovetop to flatten it a little more.

When they just lose their shiny sheen, you know they’re done.
