Reese’s Pieces Chocolate Cookies
These easy Reese’s Pieces Cookies are ready in under 20 minutes! Perfect for when a late-night chocolate craving hits.
These Reese’s cookies combine two of my greatest loves: chocolate and peanut butter. I was surprised how much peanut butter flavor these had. I also felt like the Reese’s Pieces packed more of a “crunch” than their cousin, M&M’s.
What’s Needed for Reese’s Pieces Cookies?
This Reese’s cookie recipe calls for minimal ingredients:
- All-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Butter
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Reese’s Pieces
How to Make Reese’s Pieces Cookies
- Stir together the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in egg and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, then gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces.
- Scoop the dough into balls. Drop onto a baking tray.
- Bake until done.
How to Store Reese’s Cookies
I recommend storing these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll last about 5 days. You can also freeze the baked cookies and reheat them when you’re craving something sweet.
Can I Add Other Mix-Ins?
Most likely, yes! You can mix and match mix-ins as you see fit. Pair the Reese’s Pieces with M&M’s, chocolate chips, peanuts, you name it. You can add up to 14 oz. mix-ins total (about 2 cups).
Tips for Making Reese’s Chocolate Cookies
- I like to roll all of my cookies in sugar before baking them, like my traditional Chewy Chocolate Cookies. I forgot to do that this time, but I totally recommend it!
- I prefer making these with a larger cookie scoop than I usually use, you know, more room for all those Reese’s Pieces!
- Be careful not to over bake the cookies. Keep in mind that the cookies will continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.

These are pretty good! Made them with 1 1/4 cups of butter, I believe it’s supposed be 1 1/4 stick so if I remake them, I’ll either stick to the cup and add additional 1 cup of flour or just do the stick. Still tasty and very soft with the 1 1/4 cup butter though!
I just made these!!! I did the recipe to a tee! But they turned out more like brownies. Is that how they are supposed to be? But either way they are still yummy!!
i have made these cookies for YEARS! just never thought to put the Reeses’s pieces in them. they are quick and easy and absolutely delicious. thanks for the reminder!
Those look yummy! My son would love them. Pinning to try! Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty
Love these cookies! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Was it supposed to be 1 1/4 sticks rather than cups of butter??
I am wondering the same thing. The texture of these are off. Also, I wish I knew the size of scoop used. It would help with the accuracy of the baking time. Great flavor combo though!
Hi Jen, there’s a link to the scoop I use in the post above. It holds 3tbsp of dough and should yield about 3 1/2in cookies.
Yum, yum, and YUM!
These look SUPER
They won’t last long with me and my other-half (=hubby)
