Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (402g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 3 ½ cups (434g) all purpose flour
  • 24 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups regular size
  • 2 cups (270g) mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment or a silpat baking mats.
  • Cream butter, peanut butter, and both sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, milk, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Slowly add flour and mix until dough just comes together.
  • Place mini chocolate chips in a shallow bowl.
  • Scoop a 2 tablespoon size ball of cookie dough, slightly flatten with your fingers and place a peanut butter cup on top. Add a second 2 tablespoon ball of cookie dough on top and press to seal and roll to a ball. Roll the top of the ball in the mini chocolate chips and press to adhere. Place cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet.
  • Repeat with remaining dough, placing 4-inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Slightly press to flatten.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes until the bottoms start to become light golden and the cookies are no longer glossy in the center.. Cool about 10 minutes and then remove from cookie sheets – being careful when removing them because the chocolate chips will be melty and will smear. For best results, leave on the cookie sheet until they’ve completely cooled.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.
