Wet Ingredients and Leavening:
- 1 cup butter, softened (226 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine softened butter with granulated and brown sugars, whipping until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until mixture becomes uniform.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, and salt, creating a cohesive dough.
- Gently fold chocolate chips and roughly chopped Reeses peanut butter cups into the cookie dough, distributing evenly.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden brown edges and slightly soft centers.
- Remove from oven and let cookies rest on baking sheets for 3-4 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to wire cooling rack, allowing them to cool completely and set their texture.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth, even mixing and better cookie texture.
- Chop Reeses peanut butter cups into small, uniform pieces to distribute flavor evenly throughout the cookie.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free blend, maintaining same measurement.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
