reese's stuffed peanut butter cookies
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE TIME.
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (no-stir)
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 16-18 Reese's cups
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar until soft and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Whip in the egg, then the vanilla extract. Add the flour and baking soda. Mix until just combined.
- Scoop 1/4 cup mound of dough from the bowl and flatten into a disc. Place a Reese's cup in the center. Fold the dough around the Reese's cup, adding a bit extra, until the cup is fully covered. Place onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly with your palm. Place no more than 6 cookies per baking sheet.
- Bake 8 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and tap firmly on the counter to flatten. Return to the oven for 5-6 more minutes until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Smack the cookie sheet on the counter a few more times, then set aside to let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. After 5 minutes or so, place the cookies on a wire rack.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Stir, then heat an additional 15-20 seconds until fully smooth. Use a fork or a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip to drizzle the chocolate over the cookies. Let set 10 minutes, then ENJOY!
