Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs cereal
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the butter and peanut butter mixture. Beat until the sugars are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
- Crack the two large eggs into the bowl and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until the eggs and vanilla are fully combined with the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs cereal using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but slightly soft. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the smoothest, most well-incorporated dough.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dry ingredients just until combined to keep your cookies tender and soft.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes, which helps ensure even baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
- Storage Hack: Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and fresh for days.
- Customize Your Crunch: Feel free to adjust the amount of Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs for more or less cereal texture.
- Freezer-Friendly: You can freeze the cookie dough balls and bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
