Reese’s cookies are a favorite at our house, and we have several favorite versions. At the top of the list are these Reese’s Pieces double chocolate cookies. They are perfect for all chocolate fans.

These Reese’s Pieces cookies are hands down one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes. They’re easy to make, loaded with chocolate chunks and peanut butter candies, and so rich and chocolatey they beg for a cold glass of milk to go with them. In my opinion, they are chocolate cookie heaven!

Recipe Highlights

  • This is an easy cookie recipe. Just one bowl, and in less than 30 minutes, you’ll pull a batch of fresh-baked cookies from the oven.
  • This is a no-chill cookie recipe. No waiting! You can make the dough and bake it right away.
  • They have the best soft and chewy texture.
  • They keep well at room temperature, or you can freeze them. I usually freeze them just so I don’t eat too many in one sitting!

Ingredients

  • Softened butter – I think salted butter works best
  • Granulated sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Reese’s Pieces
  • Chocolate chunks – or you can use chocolate chips

How to Make Reese’s Pieces Cookies

Cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until the dough comes together.

Stir in the Reese’s Pieces and chocolate chips.

Using a 3/4 inch cookie dough scoop or a scant tablespoon, scoop the dough and drop each ball two inches apart on parchment-lined sheet pans.

Bake the cookies at 350°F for eight to ten minutes. The cookies will be soft and puffed up when they are done.

Cool them for a few minutes on the pan and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will flatten as they cool.

Recipe Tips

  • Can you freeze cookies? Absolutely! These cookies freeze beautifully. Just let them cool completely at room temperature, then place them in a freezer-safe container with wax paper between the layers. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw at room temperature.
  • These cookies will stay fresh at room temperature in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
  • For easy baking later, scoop the cookie dough into portions, place them on a baking sheet to flash-freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Bake straight from the freezer—just add a minute or two to the baking time!
