Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Mini Reeses Pieces
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Cookie scoop
  • Baking sheets

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the Mini Reeses Pieces with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop a ball of dough, flatten it, and place 1 teaspoon of peanut butter in the center.
  8. Enclose the peanut butter by folding the dough over and rolling it into a smooth ball.
  9. Place the stuffed cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are puffy.
  11. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. For optional drizzle, melt chocolate chips, drizzle over cooled cookies, and allow to set.

Notes

For the best texture, make sure your butter is softened, but not melted. Chill the stuffed dough balls for 15-20 minutes before baking to help maintain shape.
You can store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze unbaked dough balls for later use.
Variations include swapping chocolate chips or using dark chocolate for drizzle, or experimenting with different types of nut butter as filling. Enjoy!
