Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped into small pieces
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract and egg, and mix until smooth and fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Step 2: Form the Cookie Bites
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch in size, and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently press down in the center of each cookie dough ball to create an indentation.
Step 3: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
- In a small bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Place a small spoonful of the peanut butter mixture into each indentation in the cookie dough.
- If you have extra dough, you can place a small piece of cookie dough on top of the peanut butter filling, but this is optional.
Step 4: Bake the Cookie Bites
- Bake the cookie bites in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for the Best Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites
- Chill the dough: If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- More Reese's: If you want an extra peanut butter punch, you can add more chopped mini Reese’s Cups into the dough.
- Bite-sized treats: These cookies can be smaller or larger depending on your preference. Adjust baking time accordingly.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, you can refrigerate or freeze these cookie bites. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.
