As usual, I had the need to bake. This time, I was at my boyfriend’s house so I was limited on ingredients. I kinda just winged it with whatever I found in his pantry. Reeses Pieces it was! The only downside? No brown sugar! And I use brown sugar for all my cookies since they keep them soft and chewy. 🙁 So these cookies turned out a bit harder than I like, but it wasn’t so bad…
I made a small batch so it only made a dozen cookies. When you bake these, substitute the white sugar for brown sugar (I adapted it in the recipe already) and these cookies would come out blissfully.
Ingredients:
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp (3/4 sticks) softened unsalted butter
3/4 c brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cups Reeses Pieces
2 tablespoons peanut butter
Mix wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 17 minutes.
Note to self: Never bake cookies without brown sugar again.
My 9 Year Old Daughter picked this recipe off your blog for her very first completely on her own cookie baking. She printed off the recipe, mixed and cooked everything herself while I was working in my home office. I couldn’t believe it- they were the best cookies I’ve ever eaten- seriously… they were perfectly balanced. Now, we’re looking for lots of other recipes on your blog that we can make for Christmas.
My daughter made 6 dozen of these cookies! Wow!
Thanks for a great first cookie recipe!
I baked these for a friend who couldn’t have chocolate. While mixing everything together I noticed they were really really dry. . So dry that they were not sticking together to form balls. So I quickly added some oil and I was good to go. Nice recipe, thank you.
I also had problems with the recipe being extremely dry. I added some additional butter and an egg, which appeared to work. Otherwise a tasty recipe. Thanks for sharing!
These cookies are so tastey!
My kids loved them 🙂
I decresed flour to 1 1/2 Cups and baked @ 350 for 13 Min.
