Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set oven to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or wooden spoon.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold mini chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into the dough.
  6. Portion dough into 2.5cm balls using a small scoop or teaspoon, arranging them on the prepared tray.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies can be enjoyed warm, right out of the oven, or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. Can freeze with layers separated by parchment paper.
