Servings: 36
Ingredients
- 1 cup (246g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (139g) + 2 tbsp salted butter softened
- 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (123g) brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup (59ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (228g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 36 reese's thins
Instructions
- With a mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar until blended.
- Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix together. Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375°F (190° C). Don’t overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through. I baked the cookies scooped with the medium 1.5 TBSP scoop for 8 minutes and the 3 TBSP cookies for 10 minutes.
- Immediatly after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a Reese's Thins Peanut Butter cup into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool and the chocolate to set up before serving.
