About This Recipe  

If you love peanut butter cookies, you have got to try these!  The cookie itself is so soft and delicious, but then it’s packed with even more peanut butter goodness with the addition of Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Reese’s Pieces, and peanut butter chips!  As if that wasn’t enough, throw in some crunchy pretzel bits along with dark chocolate chips and peanuts. WOW!!  These are so good there really isn’t a word worthy enough to describe them.  They do take a little time to prepare with chopping the mix-ins, but if you don’t want to bother, just add the Reese’s pieces as-is,  just crunch up some pretzel sticks a little bit, and just halve the Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda

Mix-Ins

• 1 (10 oz.) package Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, quartered
• 1 cup Reese's Pieces candy (chop half of them - optional)
• 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup roasted peanuts

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Cookie Dough: In a large bowl of a mixer, beat butter until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping the sides down while mixing.
3. Add sugar and brown sugar; beat for another 2 minutes until smooth. Mixture should be light and fluffy.
4. Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla; making sure batter is well mixed.
5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; mix well.
6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter, just until mixed.
7. Mix-Ins: Add prepared (*see Note) Reese's cups, Reese's Pieces, pretzels, peanut butter chips, dark chocolate chips, and peanuts to the dough.
8. Carefully stir the mix-ins into the dough.
9. Using a large cookie scoop (2 Tbsp. rounded), scoop the dough out and shape into a ball.
10. Place cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
11. Bake for 8 minutes, until the edges have set and are light golden.
12. Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, use a spoon to push the edges of the cookies towards the centers. This makes the cookies round in shape and makes the center thicker and more chewy.
13. Next, press any reserved mix-ins into the top of each cookie.
14. Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack and let cool.
15. Continue placing cookie dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets and repeating the process until all cookies are baked.
16. These are absolutely amazing warm!

Notes
