Double Trouble Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Honey Cookies

By srumbel

They taste incredible. especially warm and right out of the oven when the chocolate is still melty. Oh my gosh, is there anything better? I think not. The best part is that these cookies are sooo simple. Just ten minutes to prep and ten minutes to bake. No chilling time, minimal dishes (two bowls at most!) – nothing complicated.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 4-6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped into chunks
• 1 cup Reese's Pieces (or more)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg + egg yolk and beat well. Beat in the peanut butter and honey.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chunks and Reese's Pieces.
Roll the dough into scant tablespoon size balls. Stack two balls together and place them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, but no longer. Over baking them is never good! Allow to cool three minutes then eat warm or move to a cooling rack to cool completely.
