Pretzel Peanut Butter Reese’s Cookies - Crowd Pleasing Treats for Fall & Holiday
Ingredients
- For the Dough:
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks, salted)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Mix-Ins:
- Mini Reese’s cups (10 oz, chopped)
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces (half chopped)
- 1 3/4 cups pretzels (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (half chopped)
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
- Add both sugars and continue beating for another 2 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
- Mix in the peanut butter until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, beating thoroughly while scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- In a separate step, add flour to the bowl without mixing yet. Sprinkle salt, baking powder, and baking soda evenly over the flour. Gently mix everything together until just combined—do not overmix; some light flour streaks are okay.
- Prepare your mix-ins: chop Reese’s cups into chunks, crush pretzels coarsely, and chop some of the chocolate and candy pieces for better texture variety.
- Reserve a small portion of mix-ins to press on top later for presentation.
- Fold all mix-ins into the dough using a spatula. Mixing by hand helps keep the candy pieces intact.
- Scoop large portions of dough (about 1/4 cup each) and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are lightly golden and set, while the centers remain slightly soft and glossy.
- Immediately after baking, gently push the edges inward with a spoon to create thicker, rounder cookies with chewy centers.
- Press reserved toppings onto warm cookies for a bakery-style look.
- Allow cookies to cool on a wire rack, but enjoy at least one warm for the ultimate experience.
