Calories: 279kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1½ cups (300 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (240 g) peanut butter chips
- 2 cups (376 g) Reese's pieces
Instructions
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer* fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Beat on medium-high speed until light and creamy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low until just combined.
- Fold in the peanut butter chips and Reese's pieces.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Near the end of the chill time, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Using a ¼ cup cookie scoop or measuring cup, scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Using your hands or the bottom of a glass, slightly flatten each ball of dough. (These cookies don't spread.)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are golden brown. The center of these cookies will be gooey, but they will continue to bake out of the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
*If you do not have a stand mixer you can use a hand-held mixer.
