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?

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 🙂
