It has been far too long since I shared a Reese’s recipe. Far, faaar too long. It’s not as if I’m not eating and baking with Reese’s. No. I keep our pantry fully stocked: Reese’s Pieces, Minis, Miniatures, Cups, and of course, Reese’s PB Baking Chips. Yes please!
Last week my husband had another BBQ at his work. Yes, I know. These people like to party. And yes, here in Sacramento we are in the 80s. Spring is a relatively short period of time here in Sacramento so we take full advantage of the warm days and cool nights. Before we know it, temps will have reached the 100s and we won’t want to go outside. Like ever.
Sooo, anyhoo, Chris asked for cookies. Chocolate chip cookies. Using our favorite recipe naturally. I was happy to oblige, with one teensy little adjustment. I really, really wanted to stuff them. And if you’re going to stuff a cookie, I say go big or go home.
These giant, chewy chocolate chip cookies have been stuffed with snack size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and let me tell you folks, I have a new favorite cookie.
Straight out of the oven, these cookies are pure heaven. Ooey, gooey, and perfectly crisp around the edges. Biting into the cookie is pure bliss…and then…then, you hit the center.
I can’t think of a better surprise than a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Can you?

Oh yummmmm! I’m including these in a cookie round-up on Lifehack if that’s okay! 🙂
Aubrey says
These were great! Although I used mini Reese’s cups to make average sized cookies, the cookies still came out delicious, and it made a lot more than i was expecting!

Minis work great for normal-sized cookies! So glad you enjoyed the recipe Aubrey 🙂
Crystal says
I made these today, but used Reese’s miniature cups instead. It was so delicious! Fabulous recipe, thank you for sharing!
Colene says
So I am weird and want to make this without chocolate chips…would it still be delicious?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You are weird!! Just kidding 🙂 Yeah, it should still be pretty darn delicious.

Hi, I was just looking over your variety of chocolate chip cookie recipes and noticed one you add no cornstarch, one has 1/2 tsp and one has 1 tsp all with the same size recipe. What is the reason for this?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yep. So the deal is that I play with recipes from time to time. The corn starch isn’t “required” but helps to make the cookie more tender. I personally like the cookies with more corn starch but it would be acceptable to leave it out if you don’t have it.
