Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup Reese's Pieces
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream together the first 5 ingredients on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour, baking soda, salt, and mix on low speed until just incorporated, about 1 minute; do not overmix.

Add the Reese's Pieces, chocolate chips, and blend until just incorporated.

Using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop, form heaping two-tablespoon mounds. Place mounds on a large plate, flatten slightly with your palm, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days, before baking. (Do not bake with warm dough because cookies will spread and bake thinner and flatter.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place mounds on baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just beginning to set. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to rack to finish cooling.
