Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking soda to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Magic: Ensure your eggs and peanut butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: When adding dry ingredients, mix just until combined to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- Cooling Technique: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents breaking.
- Storage Hack: To keep cookies fresh, store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
- Customize Your Mix-Ins: Feel free to experiment with different chocolate chips or Reese's varieties for unique flavor combinations.
