Ingredients (Makes ~24 Cookie Bites)
For the Dough:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins:

Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups.
3. Scoop & Bake
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (or use a small cookie scoop).
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
4. Cool & Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes (they’ll firm up as they cool).
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
