Description
Easy peanut butter cookies with a little bit of oatmeal and a whole lot of Reese’s Pieces for double peanut butter flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick of butter (113 g), at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (106 g)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (128 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (130 g)
- 1/2 cup quick oats (40 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz Reese’s Pieces (227 g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 3 sheet trays with parchment paper.
- Beat the butter and the sugars until smooth in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer.
Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and beat until smooth. - Mix the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
- Add the flour into the butter mix along with 3/4 cup of the Reese’s Pieces (you’ll use the rest to decorate the cookies).
- Mix everything just until the flour disappears.
- Scoop balls of dough onto the prepared sheet trays (8 per sheet tray). Top each ball with 3 of the reserved candies.
- Place two sheet trays in the oven and bake for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, rotate the trays 180 degrees and also switch racks in the oven (top to bottom or bottom to top). Bake the cookies for 6 more minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the sheet trays and bake the last tray.
- Cookies are best the day they’re made, though you can store them at room temperature for about 3 days in an airtight container.
