Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups (chopped into small pieces)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Beat in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Mix-Ins:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups.
- Scoop and Bake:
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Chill the Dough: If the dough is too soft, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Reese’s Pieces: Add Reese’s Pieces for extra peanut butter flavor and a pop of color.
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Bake as needed.
