directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line my baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, I cream the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
I add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
I gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
Then I fold in the Reese’s Pieces, peanut butter chips, and chopped Reese’s cups.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, I drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
I bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
After baking, I let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24–30 cookies, depending on the size I scoop. It takes roughly 15 minutes to prepare the dough and 10–12 minutes to bake each batch. From start to finish, I can have these ready in under 30 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I like to switch things up by using mini white chocolate peanut butter cups or even dark chocolate Reese’s for a richer flavor. I’ve also used crunchy peanut butter for added texture, which gives a nice contrast to the soft, chewy center. For a fun twist, I sometimes add mini marshmallows or a handful of pretzel bits.

storage/reheating

Once cooled, I store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If I want to keep them longer, I freeze the baked cookies for up to 2 months. To reheat, I pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds to bring back that soft, melty texture.

FAQs

How do I keep the cookies from spreading too much?

I chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking if I want a thicker cookie. This helps control spreading and gives them a more uniform shape.

Can I use natural peanut butter?

I prefer using regular creamy peanut butter for better structure and flavor. Natural peanut butter can make the dough too oily or crumbly.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, I often make the dough a day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. It actually makes the flavors more developed.

What’s the best way to chop Reese’s cups?

I freeze the Reese’s cups for about 15 minutes before chopping. It keeps them from smearing or sticking to the knife.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. I double it all the time for parties or when I want extra for the freezer. Just make sure to mix everything evenly.

Conclusion

Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies are everything I want in a dessert—rich, soft, and bursting with peanut butter flavor. They’re easy to make, fun to customize, and always a crowd-pleaser. If peanut butter is your weakness like it is mine, these cookies are going to be your new go-to indulgence.
