How to Make Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites

PIN IT

1. Cream the base. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light. Add in peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
2. Mix dry ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Add the good stuff. Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s cups.
4. Scoop and bake. Using a cookie scoop, place dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving room for spreading.
5. Bake. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
6. Cool & enjoy. Let them rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Your kitchen will smell like peanut butter paradise. Trust me—you’ll want to sneak one warm from the tray!

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Don’t overbake—cookies continue to cook on the hot pan.

• Chop Reese’s cups small, so they distribute evenly in every bite.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Yes, this recipe scales beautifully—just bake in batches.
