    How to Make Reese's Cookies from Scratch

    If you are looking for a cookie recipe that is easy to make, your family will love, and will be devoured quickly, then this is the recipe for you! These chewy cookies definitely live up to their name!

    Once you make these cookies, you will quickly realize that even though there is nothing wrong with a regular peanut butter or chocolate chip cookie recipe, sometimes it's okay to think outside of the box when it comes to making cookies. If you are looking for other cookies recipes that aren't the norm, then make sure to check out my Lavender Shortbread Drop Cookies, my Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies, and definitely make sure to check out this recipe for these Acorn Cookies!

    Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success

    • Peanut butter - creamy or crunchy. It's totally up to you.
    • Unsalted butter since you are already adding in additional salt.
    • Kosher salt - remember to never use table salt when baking.
    • You can use a store-bought Peanut Butter Cookie mix if you prefer.
    • Also, once the batter is ready, chill it in the fridge both before you are ready to scoop it onto the baking sheets as well as keep it chilled in between batches. That way it prevents the batter from spreading too much on the cookie sheet during baking and helps the cookie retain it's shape.
    • Make sure even you are measuring out the flour that you are using the scoop and level method.
    • Also, when baking cookies like these, they are done with the sides are light golden brown and firm to the touch. They will finish cooking as they cool. They should look moist in the crevices.
    • Invest in a cookie scoop. If you don't have one, it's an absolute must! It makes scooping out dough so much easier! Plus everything is uniform AND it also works great when making meatballs!

    What Do They Taste Like?

    Think of these cookies as the ultimate cookie! Chewy and full of chocolate and peanut butter plus a hint of butterscotch! Add in a glass of milk and it's perfection!

    How to Store Them

    You can store them once they are cool in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.

    Can I Freeze Them?

    Yes, you can. Place them in a freezer safe bag and freeze them for up to two months. When you are ready to enjoy them, let them defrost on the counter until they come to room temp. Then, if you want the fresh from the oven taste, just pop them in the oven at 350 for a few minutes just to warm them up.

    Another way I have stored them before is to wrap them individual with wax paper and then place them in the Ziploc bag. That way I can pull out how every many I want without thawing the whole bag.

    How to Know if Cookies are Undercooked?

    First by looking at the edges. Are they light golden brown or firm to the touch? Are the center cervices moist? If not, then you might want to put them back in for a few minutes at a time. However, remember that the cookies continue baking after you remove them from the oven and allow them to sit on the cooking sheet to cool.
