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  

1. Stir together the dry ingredients. 
2. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in egg and vanilla. 
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, then gently fold in the Reese’s Pieces. 
4. Scoop the dough into balls. Drop onto a baking tray. 
5. 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.
