Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Mix-Ins

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
• Extra chocolate chips for topping
• Mini chocolate candies or peanut butter chips (optional)

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini cupcake liners for easier removal and cleanup.

Using a mini muffin pan helps create the perfect bite-sized cookie shape with soft chewy centers.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until smooth, fluffy, and creamy.

This step helps create the rich and soft cookie texture that makes these bites incredibly tender.

Step 3: Add the Egg and Vanilla

Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

The dough should become smooth, creamy, and slightly thick.

Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture while mixing on low speed.

Continue mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.

Step 5: Add Chocolate and Reese’s Pieces

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups gently using a spatula.

This creates pockets of melted chocolate and creamy peanut butter throughout every cookie bite.

For extra flavor, reserve a few chocolate chips to press on top before baking.

Step 6: Fill the Muffin Pan

Scoop small portions of dough into each mini muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

Press a few extra chocolate chips or Reese’s pieces on top for a bakery-style appearance.

Step 7: Bake the Cookie Bites

Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges become lightly golden while the centers remain soft.

Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to set while cooling.

Allow the cookie bites to cool in the pan for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
