Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside. - Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. - Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. - Stuff the Cookies
Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly. Place a Reese’s peanut butter cup in the center, then cover with another tablespoon of dough. Seal the edges to fully enclose the candy, forming a round cookie. - Bake
Arrange the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look set. - Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.
Tips
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Use mini Reese’s cups for a bite-sized version of this recipe.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
