Chocolate Chip Cookies Reese’s Pieces – Recipe Notes
- This recipe has the same base dough as my Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe – it just has a little extra razzle dazzle! One of my favorite ways to repurpose recipes is to add extra ingredients, toppings, etc.
- This recipe can be made with either a smaller, #40 cookie scoop, or a larger ice cream scoop. I personally prefer the ice cream scoop size for this cookie! It makes the cookies look like they came straight from a bakery, and it creates more surface area for the peanut butter drizzle – a win!
- You do not need to chill this cookie dough.
- Be sure to top your cookies with extra chocolate chips and Reese’s pieces!

- They’re soft and chewy with crispy edges (aka the dream texture).
- The Reese’s Pieces add color and crunch.
- You only need basic ingredients—nothing fancy or out of the ordinary of a classic cookie recipe.
- They’re super customizable. Add more candy, skip the chips, whatever you want!

- Using an ice cream sized scoop, scoop your cookies onto a baking sheet. Shape cookie balls so they are a little taller than they are wide. Be sure to leave space around them for the cookies to spread a little.
- Bake cookies for 12-13 minutes. Cookies should start turning golden brown on the edges, but should still be a little glossy on the top.
- Using a glass, a round cookie cutter, or a spoon, shape the cookies into perfect circles as soon as their out of the oven, while the cookies are still hot. (This step is optional, but will help you nail that bakery cookie look!).
