🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, halved

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
5Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
6The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
7In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
8Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
9Be careful not to overmix.
10Fold in the chocolate chips.
11The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
12Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
13Gently press a halved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup into the center of each cookie dough ball.
14Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
15The edges of the cookies should be lightly golden, and the centers should still look slightly soft.
16Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
17The cookies will firm up as they cool.
