Have I mentioned that Sophia sleeps all day and is up all night? Have I also mentioned that I can’t sleep at night anymore even if I want to– not during those few precious hours until 2am, not even on the nights that James stays up with her. So what is the logical solution? Baking.
These 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 the M&M.
Usually I roll all of my cookies in sugar before baking them, like my traditional Chewy Chocolate Cookies, but let’s be real… I was baking these Reese’s Pieces Chocolate Cookies at 1am… so feel free to add that step when you bake these at a reasonable hour. I also prefer these with a larger cookie scoop than I usually use, you know, more room for all those Reese’s Pieces! 🙂

May 28, 2013 at 7:38 pmWas it supposed to be 1 1/4 sticks rather than cups of butter??

September 14, 2018 at 6:01 pmI 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!

September 19, 2018 at 12:00 pmHi 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.
