Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
Cookie Dough:
– 1½ cups all-purpose flour
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– ½ cup creamy peanut butter
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup packed brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling & Topping:
– 12 mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
– ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
– 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother drizzle)
Instructions:
1. Prep:
– Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Dry Mix:
– In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter & Sugars:
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Combine:
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
5. Shape Dough:
– Roll the dough into 1½-inch balls (about 24 total). Flatten each ball slightly and place 12 on the prepared baking sheet. Press a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each, then top with another round of dough, sealing the edges gently.
6. Bake:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Drizzle:
– Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips (with coconut oil, if using) and drizzle over the cooled cookies. Let the chocolate set before serving.
Enjoy these indulgent Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies, packed with peanut butter flavor and chocolatey goodness!
