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.

Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
Okay, the part about the ranch dressing? Last week I made homemade ranch dressing for my husband to snack on with carrots (he’s weird)…and when I asked him if he used it, he was oblivious as to what I was talking about. Girl, he had to MOVE the homemade dressing in order to get to the bottled stuff.
These cookies? You are amazing!
