A sweet and tasty dessert made for peanut butter lovers. These cookies will be your new favorite thing to make.

Let's make some Reese's peanut butter cup cookies!

I know a lot of people who are big fans of Reese's but unfortunately I am not one of them. My husband is a major peanut butter lover so I try to make peanut butter recipes here and there. I knew I had to make these Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cookies for all of you peanut butter fans out there. If you're into chewy brownie cookies with peanut butter frosting and and chopped Reese's on top this is exactly the dessert recipe you want.

These Reese's peanut butter cup cookies is a very basic recipe for someone who isn't a baker. I like to make easy recipes that you can make without a hassle. For the base of the recipe I used a classic brownie cookie so it's chewy and chocolatey. The brownie cookie works perfectly with the peanut butter frosting because you bite into the cookie and it's just like a cake.

What can you do instead of a brownie cookie?

If you want a quick hack, you can make box mix brownies instead and pop the peanut butter frosting on top with the chopped Reese's. You can never go wrong with brownies!
Store-bought cookies is another easy way. Quick and simple. Plus if you're really lazy this is the BEST. All you need to make is the peanut butter frosting.

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

Cookies:

¼ Cup unsalted butter softened
1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 eggs room temp
1 Cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoon cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¾ Cup all-purpose flour

Peanut Butter Frosting:

1 ½ Cup powdered sugar
½ Cup butter (room temperature)
2 tablespoon whole milk
½ Cup smooth peanut butter
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Mix all of the peanut butter frosting ingredients in a bowl and set aside as you prepare the cookies. Chop reese's and also add these to a bowl and pop in the fridge so it doesn't melt.
In a medium-sized bowl add flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda and whisk together.
In another bowl, add the softened butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Once fully mixed together add the chocolate chips. Use your cookie scoop to place cookies 1 inch apart on your parchment paper linked baking sheet. Cook at 350 for 15-20 minutes (depending on your oven temp). Use a toothpick to poke a cookie and see if they're fully cooked. Place the cookies on a wire rack until fully cooled.
Add the peanut butter frosting to a piping bag and swirl it on top of the brownie cookie. Add some chopped Reese's on top of each cookie
