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 FAQs

Can you freeze cookies?

Yes, these cookies freeze great! Fully cool them at room temperature and the store them in a freezer container. Separate the cookie layers with wax paper. To thaw, just leave them out at room temperature.

How long do they keep at room temperature?

Once cooled, store them in an airtight container. They will keep well for two to three days.

Why are my cookies hard?

There can be a couple of reasons. First, don’t overmix the flour when you add it to the wet ingredients. You should only mix until the dough comes together.

The other reason could be overbaking. Don’t leave them in the oven too long – once they are puffed up and set around the edges they are ready. Overbaking will dry them out and make them harden.

These little chocolate peanut butter morsels are so irresistible it’s hard to stop at just one. They’re basically my ideal cookie – soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate and peanut butter. Definitely a treat worth trying – Enjoy! XOXO San
