Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter can also use crunchy
  • 1 cup Reese’s Peanut peanut butter candies add more if desired
  • 1 ½ cups mini peanut butter cups
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • Optional: chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Using mixer, add butter and sugars and mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes so it is fully combined.
  • Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined, then mix in the peanut butter for another 30 seconds – 1 minute.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter candies, mini peanut butter cups and peanut butter chips.
  • Scoop out large rounded spoonfuls of dough using a cookie scoop or large spoon. Place on the prepared sheet pan 2 inches apart and slightly press down cookie balls, not too much though, we want them thick!
  • Bake 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are cooked and golden. Cookies will continue baking after you pull them from the oven, even though they may still appear a little gooey on the inside. That’s perfect, you don’t want to overbake the cookies.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and cool 10 minutes before serving..
