Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies
Easy and delicious cake mix Peanut Butter Cookies are loaded with Reese's Pieces candy and dipped in chocolate.
Servings: 22 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix {13.25 ounces}
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter {melted}
- 2 large eggs
- ¾-1 cup Reese's Pieces candy
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Combine cake mix, peanut butter, melted butter and eggs in a large bowl and mix with a hand held mixer {or by hand} until completely incorporated. Add Reese's Pieces candies and stir in by hand.
- Using a medium sized cookie scoop {1.5 tablespoon}, scoop cookies and place onto a silicone mat or parchment lined cookie sheet. Using the tines of a fork make a crisscross pattern into the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all of the dough is baked.
- Store in an air tight container for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
Notes
- One of the keys to soft, chewy peanut butter cookies is to not over bake them. Take them out of the oven when they're just starting to turn golden brown around the edges, and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
