- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s if using.
3. Assemble the Cookies
- Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a frozen peanut butter dollop in the center.
- Cover with another tablespoon of dough, seal edges, and roll into a ball.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
4. Bake
- Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set.
- Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
🥶 Pro Tip: Freezer Friendly!
These cookies freeze beautifully. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for a just-baked gooey center.
🎉 Fun Variations
- Add Reese’s Pieces to the dough for extra crunch and color.
- Use chunky peanut butter in the filling for added texture.
- Turn them into cookie sandwiches with a swipe of peanut butter frosting between two baked cookies.
