How to Make Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dough
Cream together butter, peanut butter, white and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups and Reese’s Pieces.
3. Stuff Each Cookie
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough. Flatten slightly in your hand and place a mini Reese’s cup in the center.
Wrap the dough around the candy and roll into a ball.
4. Bake to Perfection
Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked. That’s the sweet spot.
Optional: Press a few extra Reese’s Pieces on top right after baking for that bakery-style look.
5. Cool and Enjoy
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes trust us, the center will be molten!
Top with flaky sea salt if you like that sweet-salty combo.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cookies
🍫 Use cold Reese’s cups – They’re easier to handle and won’t melt too quickly during stuffing.
🧈 Try browned butter – Adds rich, nutty flavor to your cookie base.
🥶 Freeze the dough balls – Bake straight from frozen (just add 1–2 extra minutes).
🔥 Don’t overbake – They set up as they cool!
Storage & Freezing Tips
| Storage Method | How Long |
|---|---|
| Room Temperature | 3 days in an airtight container |

Can I skip the mini Reese’s in the center?
You can, but why would you?! It’s the best part! But yes if needed, they’ll still be delicious without them.
Do these freeze well?
Absolutely. Freeze the dough balls or the fully baked cookies and warm them in the oven or microwave for fresh-out-of-the-oven flavor.
