We interrupt our regularly scheduled Christmas posts because I got too caught up in Thanksgiving and didn’t get today’s post done. But never fear, I have something up my sleeve that I have been saving for a special day. It’s a cookie that true treat lovers are going to LOVE! It’s a soft chocolate cookie topped with peanut butter frosting and sprinkled with Reese’s. Pretty amazing!

Soft and Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese's Cookies

Really, this is a GOOD cookie! You’ll definitely want to try making this. Right?

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese’s Cookie Recipe:

Chocolate Cookie Base:

Ingredients: (Printable Recipe below)

  •  1 1/2 C brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 3/4 C margarine (1 and a half sticks)
  • 2 C Nestle’s Semi Sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3 1/2 C flour

 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Sift dry ingredients together and set them aside.

In a large pan on the stove over medium-high heat, melt your brown sugar, water and margarine together and stir and continue to heat until it boils.

Remove from heat and immediately stir in your Nestle’s Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips. Mix until melted.

Beat your eggs with a fork and then stir them into the chocolate mixture.

Add the dry ingredients and stir them in with a fork until completely combined. If your dough seems runny (and like you can’t make blobs with it) add a little bit more flour.

Roll into large balls (see image below) and drop onto a cookie sheet (preferably with a Silpat mat). If you don’t have a Silpat mat make sure you have a greased cookie sheet.

Bake for about 10-11 minutes. While they bake you can make your frosting. Scroll down for that recipe.

When your cookies come out of the oven, press them down gently with the bottom of a cup to form a flat cookie with a bit of a rim around the edges:

Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe:

  •  3 sticks of butter
  • 4-6 C powdered sugar
  • 1 C peanut butter
  • 1/4 C milk
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Note-the above ingredients can be modified a little. If your frosting seems dry, add a little more milk. If it seems too wet, add a little powdered sugar.

Mix ingredients together until smooth. Put in a ziplock bag and snip off the corner. Pipe frosting onto a cookie and then spread with a knife. Sprinkle with crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

    Hi, can I use butter instead of margarine in the chocolate Reese’s cookies?
    Thanks,
    Melinda

      You can, they just spread a little differently than with margarine.

        Actually, it is exactly 113g, but that might be hard to measure.

    If you use butter, you may want to chill the dough slightly before baking.

      You can if you want, though I always use butter and never do.

    the recipe says to make the caramel sauce and frosting while the cookies bake but I don’t see anything else about the caramel sauce. Am I missing something? My husband wants to try these soon!

    I want to try these also but like another commented you referred to making a Carmel sauce but don’t say anything else like how to make and what to do with it.
    Please explain.

      Oh my word-I’m a dork! That shouldn’t be in there. There’s no caramel in this one. That’s from this recipe: https://crazylittleprojects.com/2015/09/chocolate-caramel-cookies.html

      So just make your frosting. Not your caramel. :)

    The next time I make these cookies (and I will make then again) I will just do half of the frosting. Had enough left over to do a two layer cake! Also how many did this yield? I got about thirty.

    I made these today with my granddaughter. They are wonderful! I did cut the frosting recipe in half as was suggested in some of the comments. Thank you for this recipe, I’ll be making it a lot!

    Does the frosting get stiff enough to stack the cookies in a gift box without sticking to another

      It’s semi-sticky. Maybe refrigerate it first?
