Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

11/26/2017

0 Comments

 

This is a twist on my peanut butter blossom cookies.

It started when I wanted to use the dough for more than one type of cookie - because 1 batch makes A LOT of cookies and I didn't need that many PB Blossoms at the time. 

So I decided to split the dough and add some peanut butter candies to it - it was a great idea! (This dough has a light peanut butter flavor, so it's not overpowering- it's like a hybrid between a chocolate chip cookie dough and a peanut butter cookie dough.)

​I actually prefer these OVER the PB Blossoms (I know, crazy. Right??)


I still did the same sugar coating technique because it's one of my favorite additions to most drop cookies <3
