At first glance, you’d probably agree that these cookies don’t look particularly basic, even without catching a peek at the inside. They’re thicker and bigger than your average cookie, made with two types of chocolate chips and infused with peanut butter. Not your average chocolate chip cookies (or peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!), for sure. But once you take that first bite… that’s when the party starts. These soft but sturdy cookies are loaded with big fat Reese’s cups, and once you try one of these, you’ll never look at a regular cookie the same way again.
What You Need
Nothing fancy to see here. I found the best cookie base to use would be a peanut butter flavored one loaded with chocolate chips (because you can’t go wrong with even more peanut butter and chocolate). It’s a bit sturdier than my peanut butter cookie recipe so that it holds the Reese’s cup well. I use a blend of mini and regular-sized semisweet chocolate chips, but you can use any size or type of chocolate you’d like. Milk chocolate would complement the milk chocolate flavor of the Reese’s, but I like the slightly more bitter flavor of semisweet. Tip: I prefer to use unsalted butter in my cookies. If you only have salted butter, just reduce the salt to ¼ teaspoon. Tip: Never put cookie dough on a hot baking sheet, the cookies will spread too much!
