● Key Ingredients for Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies

(Insert high-quality image of ingredients here: butter, peanut butter, sugar, eggs, flour, Reese’s cups, peanut butter chips)

Here’s everything you’ll need:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup creamy peanut butter

• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¾ cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped

• ½ cup peanut butter chips

Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature for smooth mixing and perfect Cookies.

● Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking.

2. Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat for about 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy. This step helps create soft Cookies.

3. Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth. The dough should look creamy and rich.

4. Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) in a separate bowl. Slowly add them to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make Cookies tough.

5. Fold in the Reese’s cups and peanut butter chips using a spatula. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Scoop the dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. This ensures soft, chewy Cookies.

8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The Cookies will firm up as they set.

What to Serve Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies With

These Cookies pair beautifully with a cold glass of milk, hot chocolate, or even a creamy latte. For dessert platters, serve them alongside chocolate chip Cookies or brownies for variety. They’re also amazing crumbled over vanilla ice cream or sandwiched with frosting for an indulgent cookie sandwich experience.

Top Tips for Perfecting Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies

• Use creamy peanut butter, not natural. Natural peanut butter can cause dry, crumbly Cookies.

• Don’t overbake. The Cookies should look slightly soft in the center when you remove them.

• Chop Reese’s cups into chunks, not tiny pieces, for gooey pockets of chocolate.

• Add extra toppings by pressing a few Reese’s pieces on top before baking for bakery-style Cookies.

• Swap peanut butter chips with chocolate chips if needed—they’ll still taste amazing.

These small tweaks make a big difference and guarantee perfect Cookies every time.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store leftover Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To keep them extra soft, add a slice of bread to the container—it works like magic.

For longer storage, freeze baked Cookies for up to 3 months. Place them in a freezer-safe bag with parchment between layers. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for that fresh-from-the-oven taste. You can also freeze the cookie dough balls and bake straight from frozen—just add 1–2 minutes to the baking time.

If you’re craving rich, peanut buttery Cookies that are easy, affordable, and guaranteed to impress, these Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are a must-bake. Happy baking! 🍪🥜
