Ingredients

For the cookies

  • 100 g Butter or baking spread softened
  • 25 g Peanut butter
  • 200 g Golden caster sugar or regular caster sugar
  • 1 Egg large
  • 200 g Plain flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 120 g Reese's Peanut Butter Cups chopped

For the decoration

  • 175 g Milk chocolate melted
  • 100 g Reese's Pieces crushed/chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, and line a few baking trays (or however many you own) with baking paper
  • Mix the butter, peanut butter and golden caster sugar together ideally with an electric mixer
  • Add the egg and mix in
  • Mix in the plain flour and baking powder
  • Mix in the chopped up peanut butter cups
  • Take blobs of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands, place onto the lined baking trays, leave space between the cookies as they will spread
  • Optional: chill the cookies for 30-60 minutes before baking for thicker cookies that don't spread as much
  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until they are golden brown, leave them on the tray for 10 minutes before carefully removing and placing on racks to cool fully
  • To decorate, dip half of the cookies into the milk chocolate and sprinkle on the crushed Reese's Pieces. Place onto a sheet of baking paper to set
  • Store in an airtight container and eat within 3 days. They also be frozen without the decoration

Notes

  • You could use chopped up peanuts instead of Reese's Pieces if you like.
  • Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
  • For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
