Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually add to the wet mixture.
Fold in Peanut Butter Cups
Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
Bake the Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets and bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.
Tips & Tricks
Use Softened Butter
Soft butter creams better with sugar and creates a lighter cookie dough.
Do Not Overmix
Mix the dough just until combined to keep the cookies tender.
Chop Candy Evenly
Cut the peanut butter cups into small pieces so they distribute evenly in the dough.
