Soft Baked Reese’s Pieces Cookies Recipe Tips

M&M’s can be used instead of Reese’s Pieces.

White chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips can be used instead of milk chocolate chips.

For best results, plan ahead and make the cookie dough a day in advance. At the very least, refrigerate it for at least 3 hours. This helps keep the cookies from spreading out too much.

How To Serve and Store

These cookies are best served warm right out of the oven. Aren’t all cookies? With a tall glass of milk. They can be kept in a ziplock bag and will stay soft and fresh for at least 5 days.

Steps

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.

  2. 2

    Whisk in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and stir until combined.

  4. 4

    Stir in milk chocolate chips and1/2 cup of Reese's Pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Overnight is even better.

  5. 5

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Shape dough into balls a little bigger than a golf ball. You should get 15 to 16 cookies.

  7. 7

    Press a few Reese's Pieces into the top of each dough ball. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will still look a little underdone. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

M&M's can be used instead of Reese's Pieces.
