Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup light butter or margarine, softened
• ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter (plus extra for stuffing)
• ½ cup Reese’s Pieces candies

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Dough
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a larger bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and ½ cup peanut butter, mixing until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in Reese’s Pieces.

3. Shape & Fill
Scoop out small amounts of dough (about 1 tablespoon). Flatten slightly, add ½ teaspoon of peanut butter in the center, then fold dough around it to seal. Roll into a ball.

4. Bake
Place cookies on the prepared sheet, leaving space between each. Bake 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.

5. Cool & Serve
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for gooey centers, or cooled for a chewy bite.

Tips for Success

• Don’t Overbake: These cookies should stay soft—pull them when edges are just set.
• Seal Well: Make sure the peanut butter filling is completely covered with dough to prevent leaking.
• Chill Dough (Optional): For thicker cookies, chill dough balls for 20 minutes before baking.
• Extra Burst of Color: Press a few extra Reese’s Pieces on top before baking.
