Step‑by‑Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream the Wet Base
In a large bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 3: Add Eggs & Vanilla
Mix in eggs and vanilla until smooth and cohesive.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Step 5: Fold in the Good Stuff
Switch to a spatula and fold in chopped Reese’s cups, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips (if using).
Step 6: Portion the Dough
Scoop dough into 1½‑inch balls.
Place on baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through.
Cookies should be golden at the edges but soft in the center.
Step 8: Cool
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
