How do I follow

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Parchment paper is a lifesaver because it prevents cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easy. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugars

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light. Set aside. This step is important because it incorporates air into the dough, which makes the cookies soft and fluffy. I usually use an electric mixer for this, but you can also do it by hand (just be prepared for a bit).

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. What is the best way to stir together peanut butter and milk? Make sure your eggs are at room temperature – they’ll incorporate more easily into the dough.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. How do you mix baking soda and salt in a dough? Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not over mix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.

Step 5: Fold in Reese’s

Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. I like to reserve a few extra Reese’s pieces to press on top of the cookies before baking. How do I make my girls look pretty?

Step 6: Drop by Spoonfuls

What is the best way to spread dough on a baking sheet? If you want your cookies to be uniform in size, you can use a cookie scoop. I usually just eyeball it, though!

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven. The cookies will continue to set up after they cool.

Step 8: Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to the wire rack. To cool completely. This prevents them from sticking and breaking. Try to resist the urge to eat them all at once (I know it’s hard!).

How do I perfect Reese’s cookies?

What are some of the best tips for making these cookies?Reese’Is it perfect?

Soft Butter is Key: Make sure your butter is truly softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugars. This will ensure that the cookies are soft and tender.

Don’t Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough. Mix until just combined.

Chill the Dough (Optional): If you have time, chilling the dough for 30 minutes to an hour before baking can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.

Ingredient Swaps: You can easily customize these cookies by using different kinds of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (like the dark chocolate or white chocolate ones). You can also add other mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles. I’ve even used almond butter instead of peanut butter! It turns out delicious.

Baking Tips: Keep a close eye on the cookies while they’re baking, as baking times can vary depending on your oven. The cookies are done when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. If your oven runs hot, lower the temperature by 25 degrees.

I learned that if you leave the butter out overnight and its TOO soft, just throw it in the freezer for a couple minutes.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Here’s how to keep your Reese’s Cookies fresh and delicious:

Room Temperature: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They’re best when they’re still slightly soft and chewy.

Refrigerator Storage: For longer storage, you can keep the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just let them come to room temperature before serving.

Freezer Instructions: To freeze the cookies, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw them at room temperature before serving.

I don’t usually have to worry about storing these too long… because they’re usually gone within a day!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, you can! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend that is designed for a 1:1 replacement. Be sure to check the packaging to see if any other adjustments need to be made. The texture might be slightly different, but the flavor will still be amazing!

Can I use a different kind of nut butter?

Absolutely! Almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter would work well in this recipe. Keep in mind that the flavor of the nut butter will impact the overall taste of the cookies.

Can I add chocolate chips?

Definitely! Chocolate chips would be a delicious addition to these cookies. You can use semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or even dark chocolate chips. Add about 1/2 cup to the dough along with the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

How can I make the cookies softer?

To make softer cookies, try adding an extra tablespoon of butter to the dough. You can also slightly underbake the cookies, as they will continue to set up as they cool.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough! Scoop the dough into individual balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until the dough is firm. Then, transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to bake the cookies, simply bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
