Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) butter room temperature
  • ½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter not natural
  • ¾ cups (165 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt
  • ¾ teaspoon (0.75 teaspoon) baking soda
  • 1¼ cups (175 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (141 g) reese's pieces candies
  • ¼ cup (42.5 g) peanut butter chips
  • flaked salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter, peanut butter and sugars together in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  • Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl. Fold in reese's pieces and peanut butter chips.
  • Using a large cookie scoop, (I use a 3 tbsp) scoop dough into balls. Place 8 balls per sheet and sprinkle with a little flaked salt. You can also top with a few more reese's pieces for color on top if you'd like.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes to help the center finish setting.

Notes

You can easily skip peanut butter chips and add extra reese's pieces or chocolate chips.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
