How to Make Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of cookie dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Gently flatten each cookie ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
