The one thing I eat almost every day of my life is peanut butter. I am absolutely in love with it, so anytime I can incorporate it into baking it makes my day. It’s easy to guess that one of my favorite types of candy is a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup, so again, using it in baking makes me a happy girl. I recently found this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens and immediately knew these cookies would taste amazing, and they certainly didn’t disappoint! I love that in one bite it’s possible to get both a sweet and salty taste. I decreased the amount of honey roasted peanuts from the original recipe because I like things a bit more sweet than salty, but you could always add in more. If you don’t want anything too crunchy in your cookies you could substitute peanut butter chips for the peanuts. Enjoy!
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup honey roasted peanuts
- 6 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (individual cups, not bite size), cut into 8 pieces each
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together butter and peanut butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugars, baking soda, and salt until combined. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined, then add flour. Finally, add chocolate chips, peanuts, and peanut butter cups. Form into balls or use small cookie scoop and place onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
