Instructions

Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Fats & Sugars:
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg & Vanilla:
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just incorporated.
Fold in Chocolate & Reese’s:
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups (or Reese’s Pieces) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Form Cookie Bites:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten each ball with your fingertips if desired.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.

Cool & Serve:
Allow the cookie bites to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookie bites.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For a chewier texture, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
