If you’re a peanut butter enthusiast, prepare yourself for a treat that’s sure to satisfy your cravings. These Crumbl Peanut Butter Reese’s Cookies are the perfect blend of creamy peanut butter and rich, chocolatey Reese’s peanut butter cups, creating an irresistible cookie experience.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
Directions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cream the Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Reese’s: Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Tips:
Warm and Fresh: For the ultimate experience, serve these cookies slightly warm. You can microwave them for a few seconds to bring back their gooey goodness.
Pairing: These cookies go wonderfully with a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Presentation: For a special touch, serve the cookies on a pretty plate or platter, and consider garnishing with a few extra chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. This will keep them soft and fresh.
Freezing: If you want to keep the cookies for a longer period, freeze them. Place the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
Thawing: To thaw frozen cookies, let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or microwave them for a few seconds to get them warm and soft again.
Layering: If you’re stacking the cookies in a container, place parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.

FAQs:
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy peanut butter?
While natural peanut butter can be used, it may alter the texture of the cookies due to its oil separation. For best results, stick with creamy, processed peanut butter which provides a consistent texture and flavor.
Can I substitute Reese’s peanut butter cups with another type of chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute Reese’s peanut butter cups with other types of chocolate or candy, such as chocolate chips, chopped Snickers, or M&M’s. However, keep in mind that this will change the flavor profile of the cookies.
How do I prevent my cookies from spreading too much?
To prevent excessive spreading, ensure your dough is chilled for about 30 minutes before baking. Additionally, using a silicone baking mat or parchment paper can help control the spread and maintain the shape of the cookies.
Can I make the cookie dough ahead of time and bake it later?
Yes, you can make the cookie dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. When you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it easier to scoop. You can also freeze the dough for up to three months and bake straight from the freezer, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
