How to Make Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies

Follow these steps to create your own soft, chewy, and chocolate-packed cookies:

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2️⃣ Cream the Butter & Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

3️⃣ Add the Egg

4️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

5️⃣ Fold in the Goodies

Gently fold in Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, and chocolate chips.

6️⃣ Scoop & Shape

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly press each cookie to flatten slightly.
