Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 1/4 cups halved Reese's mini peanut butter cups, divided
- 1 cup mini Reese's Pieces, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- Beat the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until creamy. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla and mix again.
- Stir the flour, baking soda, salt, and dry pudding mix in a bowl. Slowly add to the peanut butter mixture until everything is mixed in.
- Gently stir the chocolate chips, 1 cup peanut butter cup halves, and 3/4 cup Reese's Pieces into the dough, making sure all the candies are mixed in evenly.
- Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to make 36 even dough balls. Press the extra candy into the tops of the dough balls to make them bake pretty.
- Place 12 dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the hot cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then gently move to a piece of parchment paper to cool completely.
Notes
- We love using creamy peanut butter, but crunchy would add a fun texture to these cookies. A natural or oily peanut butter is NOT recommended.
- These cookies are thick and puffy when they come out of the oven. Because they are loaded with candies, they do not spread as much as regular peanut butter cookies.
- Use a flat spatula to gently tap the tops of the hot cookies to flatten them slightly. Be very careful doing this because it can mess up the tops of the cookies.
- Want to make these into bar cookies? Press the dough into a greased 11x17 baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 11-12 minutes.
