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!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
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.
Deirdre Davis says
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.
caron says
These sound amazing! Can you please tell me about how many cookies this makes, since the pb cups are pretty large…? Thanks!
dina says

Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s what I’m saying Dina! Thank you 🙂
Mary Delgado says
Can’t wait to try these! Thank you!
Nancy says

Maya says
These cookies just stopped me in my tracks when I first saw them, they look amazing! I had to share with all my friends on Facebook!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you so much Maya!
Gayle says
Not today, you’re not (in the 80s, in Sacramento.) *sigh* Which makes it a great weekend to stay in and try this recipe. The group of 9-year old boys that has invaded my house should love it.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh man! That RAIN! But we totally needed it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Gayle!
Kimberlee says
These look awesome! I am sure my sons will love them – husband, too.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Definitely! Thanks for stopping by Kimberlee!
Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
Ohmygosh, Sacramento weather is SO strange! From 80° to 60° and raining… I’m not exactly happy about this. I want spring to come and stay for a little while! And these cookies — absolutely incredible. With how many kinds of Reese’s you stock in your pantry, can I move in with you?? 😉
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Right! And we’re supposed to hit 80 again this weekend!! So crazy! And yes, you can move in…but you’ll have to take the couch 😉
Sara @ Bitz & Giggles says
Trish, These cookies look absolutely delicious! You can’t go wrong with Reese’s anything. Pinned!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I completely agree Sara – thank you!
Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet says
These cookies, these cookies! Oh my cookie!! It’s like the best thing ever! I think I need to plan a BBQ just so I can make these!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Haha! Thank you Nancy!
Stacy | Wicked Good Kitchen says
My new favorite cookie, Trish! I swear…I can taste these in my mind already and cannot wait to bake them! Cannot believe that you managed to wrap all that cookie dough around those large peanut butter cups. Where there is a will, there is a way! Thanks for sharing. Pinning (of course)!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s my motto Stacy 🙂 I have wanted to put a whole Reese’s cup in a cookie FOREVER. Checking that off my bucket list! Thanks for the pin!
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
Everything I love wrapped up into one cookie! These look seriously addicting!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you Jessica! And yes, they are quite addicting 🙂
Rachel @the dessert chronicles says
Ok. These seriously look like the best cookie I have ever seen. I have seen the oreo stuffed ones everywhere, but Reese’s?!! I have to make these asap!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Rachel! They were delish!
marcie says
Trish, these are a chocolate-peanut butter lover’s dream! I can hardly believe you were able to pack a Reese’s peanut butter cup into a cookie, but it looks like a wild success. 🙂 I didn’t realize that you were in Sacramento — it’s way too hot there for me. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I was determined 🙂 Where do you live Marcie?
Bryn says
These look so great. Quick question. I’ve made your family favorite recipe several times and my fam really enjoys them. I noticed you have cornstarch in this recipe…have you started adding it to your base too? Thanks!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I have Bryn. It’s not a must-have but it does result in a more tender cookie. I make the Giant Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies with 1/2 tsp and decided to up it to 1 tsp for this recipe and it worked out wonderfully. Thank you!
Blair @ The Seasoned Mom says
Oh, yum! These look like cookie heaven! I’m drooling over your photos. Pinned!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you Blair! Definitely my version of cookie heaven 🙂
Jenn@eatcakefordinner says
Now that is what I’m talking about!!! YUMMY!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thanks Jenn!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
Ohmigosh you stuffed them inside. I love you!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Best idea EVER. Thanks Dorothy!
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Stuffed cookies are always so good – and with Pb even better! Pinned of course 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Oh yes! Thanks Averie!!
