Tools You’ll Need

Large mixing bowl
Electric hand mixer or wooden spoon
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Tablespoon or cookie scoop
Wire cooling rack

Step 1: Preparation for the Triple Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces
1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Step 2: Cooking the Triple Peanut Butter Cookies

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Blend in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just mixed. Carefully fold in the Reese’s Pieces, Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips, and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and gently shape them into balls, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each ball with your hand or a spoon.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Assembling and Finishing

Once cooled, consider arranging your Triple Peanut Butter Cookies on a decorative platter, perhaps garnishing with a sprinkle of extra Peanut Butter Chips for added flair. Serve them with a tall glass of cold milk or a warm cup of tea to enhance their sumptuous flavor.
