Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add Egg and Vanilla
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in the Good Stuff
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Mix just enough to distribute evenly.
Step 6: Scoop and Bake
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form 1-inch dough balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!
