Preparation

Step 1

Mix the ingredients down to the vanilla. Add soda, salt, and flour. Fold in chocolate chips.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop dough (these are big cookies). Place 6 scoops of dough on ungreased cookie sheet. Use your hand and slightly flatten each scoop of dough. Cook for 12 minutes at 350.

Remove cookies from oven and lightly press 4-8 cut up pieces of the Reese’s peanut butter cups over the top of each cookie. Return to oven for 2 more minutes. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before placing on cooling rack. I think these cookies are best eaten warm, and are best if eaten no later than the day after baking. Makes 18 cookies.
