The Best Peanut Butter Cookies I have ever had! These easy to make peanut butter dropped cookies are packed with peanut butter flavor and chocolate and candy mix ins!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt (I recommend Maldon sea salt flakes)
  • 1-2 cups Reese's Pieces
  • 1/2-1 cup chocolate chips (if desired)
  • 1/2-1 cup peanut butter chips (if desired)
  • 1/2 cup peanuts (if desired)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • With a mixer, beat together peanut butter, softened butter and sugars until creamy and well combined. Add in eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy.
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt to mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in Reese's Pieces and any other mix ins.
  • Scoop cookies onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with a silicone mat. Each scoop should hold approximately 2 tablespoons of dough.
  • Bake for approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on a wire cooling rack, but remain on baking sheet, for at least five minutes. Remove from baking sheet, serve and enjoy!
  • YIELD: Approximately three dozen cookies
