Description

Ingredients

• 1 stick salted butter, melted but not hot
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup Reese’s Pieces or Peanut Butter m&m’s
• 1/4 cup mini peanut butter cups, halved, or chopped peanut butter cups

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat butter with both sugars until creamy.
• Add vanilla and egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated - 10-15 seconds or so (if you beat the egg for too long, the cookies will get stiff).
• Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a spatula or your hands to press the dough together until it is just combined (it should form one large ball that is easy to handle).
• Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter candies and incorporate with your hands or a spatula.
• Roll the dough into 12-16 balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes if making 12 (*if making 16, check around 7-8 minutes) until cookies look puffy and dry and just barely golden. **DO NOT OVERBAKE. Take them out even if they look like theyre not done yet!
• Cool and enjoy!
