Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it takes a classic peanut butter cookie and turns it into something outrageously indulgent. The combination of creamy peanut butter, crunchy Reese’s Pieces, and gooey chunks of peanut butter cups creates a cookie that’s soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges, and loaded with texture and flavor.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• All-purpose flour

• Baking soda

• Salt

• Unsalted butter (softened)

• Creamy peanut butter

• Granulated sugar

• Brown sugar

• Eggs

• Vanilla extract

• Reese’s Pieces candy

• Mini or regular Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (chopped)

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate large bowl, I cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. I beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.

5. I gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

6. I fold in the Reese’s Pieces and chopped peanut butter cups.

7. I scoop the dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart.

8. I bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.

9. I let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24 cookies. It takes 15 minutes to prep and 10–12 minutes to bake—ready to enjoy in under 30 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I mix in chocolate chips or white chocolate chips for even more variety. I’ve also made these cookies with chunky peanut butter for added texture, or pressed extra candies on top before baking for a bakery-style look.

Storage/Reheating

I store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They also freeze well—either the dough balls or baked cookies. I reheat a cookie in the microwave for 10 seconds if I want that fresh-from-the-oven gooeyness.

FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter?

I prefer using conventional creamy peanut butter for the best texture. Natural peanut butter can make the dough oily or dry, depending on the brand.

Can I chill the dough?

Yes, chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps prevent spreading and gives the cookies a thicker, chewier texture.

How do I keep the cookies soft?

I bake them just until the edges are set and let the centers stay slightly underbaked—they firm up as they cool.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Absolutely. I refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours or freeze it in pre-portioned balls for future baking.

What size Reese’s should I use?

I like using mini peanut butter cups, but regular ones chopped into chunks work just as well. I avoid overly large pieces to keep the cookies intact.

Conclusion

Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are one of my go-to treats when I want to satisfy my sweet tooth with maximum peanut butter flavor. They’re rich, chewy, and packed with candy, making them perfect for sharing—or keeping all to myself. Whether I’m baking for a party or just for fun, these cookies always steal the show.
