Peanut Butter White Chocolate Kit Kat Cookies

By srumbel

Chewy, buttery Peanut Butter White Chocolate Kit Kat Cookies are perfect as after school snacks or lunchbox treats! Enter, these chewy, peanut buttery, white chocolate crunchy dream cookies. I LOVE Kit Kats in cookies — they are entirely underused, if you ask me. And white chocolate pairs so perfectly with peanut butter, that I knew that Peanut Butter White Chocolate Kit Kat Cookies needed to happen. These are so great — not super crunchy and crumbly like the peanut butter cookies of your childhood, but just crunchy enough. The Reese’s Pieces add color and extra peanut butter flavor, and the White Chocolate Kit Kat add the perfect smooth sweetness and light crunch. These cookies are so perfect for tucking into lunchboxes — we all LOVED them!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, slightly softened
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups roughly chopped white chocolate Kit Kat pieces
• 1 cup Reese's Pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.
In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat in egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture until dough forms, then fold in candy.
Drop cookie dough with a large cookie scoop onto baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Slightly flatten with the palm of your hand, then bake for about 10 minutes, until edges are just barely golden.
Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 3 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
