- 1 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
- 1 cup cream peanut butter softened at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole large eggs

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoonn baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 3/4-2 cups Reese's Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars until light and creamy. About 2-4 minutes.
- Add in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and egg yolk. Mix until combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine and whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined and a dough has formed. Add in Reese's Pieces candy and stir again.
- Use a large cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls (about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough). Place on prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Top with more Reese's Pieces (optional, this will make them look extra pretty). Bake for 12-13 minutes or just until the edges turn a light golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
