Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 box (18.3 oz) Reese's Peanut Butter Brownie Mix
2 large eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (optional, but highly recommended for extra peanut butter and chocolate bursts)
Additional Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, halved (optional)

Equipment

- Oven
Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
Medium Bowl
Wire rack

Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs, 2/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.

Pour the entire contents of the Reese's Peanut Butter Brownie Mix into the bowl with the wet ingredients.
1 box (18.3 oz) Reese's Peanut Butter Brownie Mix
Using a sturdy spoon or a rubber spatula, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can lead to tougher cookies. The dough will be thick and fudgy, just like brownie batter.
If you’re using chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, gently fold them into the dough.
1/2 cup chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
If desired, gently press a halved Reese's Peanut Butter Cup onto the top of each cookie dough ball before baking.
Additional Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, halved
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked. For a chewier cookie, err on the side of less baking time. For a slightly firmer cookie, bake a minute or two longer.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting period allows them to firm up properly.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in microwave for 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat.
