Well hello there you chunky little Reese’s Pieces cookies you, don’t you look delectable? Oh yeah. These Reese’s Pieces cookies are thick and chewy and loaded with Reese’s pieces!

The best thick and chunky Reese's Pieces cookies that are loaded with chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces!I don’t know about you, but I’m not one to ever turn down anything peanut buttery, especially if it involves Reese’s Pieces, so when I baked these Reese’s Pieces cookies the first time, take a guess who ate Every. Single. Cookie? *looks awkwardly away* – yeah me! They’re literally that good!

The best thick and chunky Reese's Pieces cookies that are loaded with chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces!I’ve been in, what I call a ‘healthy baking’ phase for about a month or so now. I’ve been doing lots of healthier recipes over there; I’ve done two new gluten-free cookie recipes in the last week alone!

And while that’s all well and good, when it came time for me to do this post, I was beyond excited to create an indulgent and rich cookie again! The first thing that came to mind was chocolate and peanut butter, and what better way to do that than with Reese’s Pieces IN A COOKIE?!

The best thick and chunky Reese's Pieces cookies that are loaded with chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces!When I started writing out this recipe, I thought about how I wanted the cookies to be in the end. I knew I wanted them to be thick and hearty, so I added chocolate chips in addition to the Reese’s Pieces to really give them some chunk. And I knew I wanted the cookie to be chewy too, but substantial and not too thin, so I used mostly brown sugar for some lift and chew. I also knew I wanted this to be a simple one-bowl, small-batch recipe, so I kept the ingredients simple, and common, and made the process easy.

What you’ll need to make these Reese’s Pieces cookies:

  1. Unsalted butter.
  2. Sugar.
  3. Light brown sugar.
  4. Sea salt.
  5. Baking soda.
  6. Egg.
  7. Vanilla extract.
  8. Milk.
  9. Flour.
  10. Chocolate chips (any kind, though I used semi-sweet).
  11. Milk (dairy or nondairy is fine).
  12. Reese’s pieces.

Once you pop them in the oven though, that’s where the magic begins. They slowly start to melt into themselves and spread as they bake, but the tops will puff slightly before eventually falling to create a slightly wrinkled top.

And I personally love the little snap you get when you bite into a Reese’s Pieces! Neither the peanut butter or the chocolate are overpowering in this cookie, the just go perfectly together to create a mouthwateringly delicious chunky Reese’s Pieces cookie!

    These cookies are fantastic and using Reese’s is great way to add a little bit of peanut butter flavor without it being overwhelming. I will definitely be making these again!

    These are so delicious!!! I enjoyed them with a cup of hot tea. Is there ever a dull day when you have cookies on hand, I think not. ?
