Soft peanut butter cookies stuffed with Reese’s Pieces! This is my all time favorite peanut butter cookie recipe because it’s so thick, chewy, and easy!
Y’all know my husband?
The man who eats all my food?
The one who hasn’t cooked anything other than french toast, bacon, and eggs in the past 10 years?
The one who thought whipped cream came from egg whites and not, you know, cream…that had been whipped?
The man who refuses to try anything that might have a hint of an onion in it, probably just on principle or to annoy me or because he’s just stubborn and not at all because he dislikes onions. I mean, he probably can’t even remember what onions taste like, it’s been so long since he’s eaten one.
Anyway. That man.
He knows his cookies. He is a true cookie connoisseur. Especially when it comes to homemade peanut butter cookies.
Sure, he is often unable to find the ranch dressing or jelly in our refrigerator (it’s in the same spot every time, you guys!), but he knows his way around the cookie jar.
These soft peanut butter cookies that are eyeballing you right now? He made a comment about them being amazing. The best. Perfect.
He used a lot of very nice adjectives, y’all. I think we can all take this to mean that these cookies are winners!
You’ve got to try this soft peanut butter cookie recipe, like immediately. I bet it moves to the top of your favorites list.
I’m a fan of super soft, not even slightly crunchy peanut butter cookies. These cookies? Fit the bill.
Super soft, super chewy. They’re fat and puffy. They’re easy. They’re amazing.
They’re also chock full of Reese’s Pieces and chocolate chips.

I wish I could have a dozen!
Tanya Schroeder says
I almost thought you were talking about my husband with the exception of cooking french toast and bacon! I KNOW my husband would appreciate these cookies, that is unless I ate them first! I love soft cookies!
Karly says
Well, you know…my husband only cooks the french toast on Mother’s Day. The bacon is a weekly event though, but it’s not as great as it sounds. Bacon grease EVERYWHERE. 🙂
Cookbook Queen says
I LOOOOVE Reese’s Pieces!! And soft peanut butter cookies. And you.
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
I just made Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies last week! Our recipes are almost the exact same. I used all brown sugar, no white. And use a smidge more PB than you, but other than that, we could swap cookies & recipes 🙂 Great minds clearly think alike!
Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet says
Oh.my. These cookies look incredible!!! Love some Reese Pieces in cookies!
Karly says
Especially when they are still warm and melty, right? 🙂
Thank you!
