Reese’s Pieces Cookies #HalloweenTreatsWeek

Reese’s Pieces add a wonderful peanut butter flavor to cookies.

The cookie recipe is super easy to make, is decadent, and quite addictive. And, they turn out chewy on the inside and a tad crunchy on the inside for the perfect cookie.

Sweet Halloween Cookies

It’s always fun to add candy to cookies and these are great Halloween colors.

The chewy cookies are perfect for any party and are packed full of flavor. They are so good, in fact, you will have a hard time putting them down.

DISCLAIMER: This post is sponsored by Dixie Crystals for #HalloweenTreatsWeek. As always, the opinions are honest and are all my own.

I have to admit, I was quite a little piggy with these cookies. I honestly could not stop eating them because they were so good.

The combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and sugar cookies was pretty amazing.

And, the best part? They are super easy to make.

What Ingredients Are Needed For The Cookies?

• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Softened butter
• Dixie Crystals sugar

How To Make Halloween Cookies

1. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a bowl and whisk. Set it aside.
2. Place the softened butter into a large mixing bowl and cream with a hand mixer.
3. Next, pour the sugar into the bowl and mix.
4. Add the brown sugar and mix well.
5. Pour the vanilla extract into the bowl and add the egg. Mix the ingredients.
6. Add the flour mixture to the dough and mix well.
7. Finally, add the Reese’s Pieces and mix with a spatula.
8. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes.
9. Scoop the cookie dough into dough balls, about 1-inch thick, and place on a cookie sheet.
10. Bake the cookies at 375-degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
11. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet and then place them on a wire rack to cool.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Grab a bowl and add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and whisk. Set the bowl aside for a few minutes.

Add the softened butter to the bowl. Pour the sugar into the bowl and cream the two ingredients with a hand mixer.

If you have a stand mixer, that will work, as well.

If you didn’t leave your butter out to soften, that is fine. Just mix it a little longer. I forget all the time and mix it a little longer.

For this recipe, I used Dixie Crystals sugar. It’s delicious and you can find it in most grocery stores.

Next, add the packed brown sugar to the bowl and mix.

I always like cookies that have a combination of granulated white sugar and brown sugar. It gives them a rich taste.

Pour the vanilla extract into the bowl with an egg and mix the ingredients together.

Now, add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix well.

Finally, add the Reese’s Pieces to the bowl and mix with a spatula.

If you want to add a few candies to the top of the cookies before they bake, save a handful for that step. But, it’s optional.

You can use a hand mixer, but it will beat up the candy a little bit if you do. I always use a spatula for this last step so the candy stays intact (not that I won’t eat it either way-ha!).

Place the cookie dough into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

The refrigerator step is optional, but it will keep your cookies from spreading too much while baking.

After 30 minutes in the refrigerator, scoop the cookie dough into about one-inch dough balls and place them on a cookie sheet.

I will add a few candies to the top to make them look a little prettier, but that is totally optional.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown on the outside.

Once you take them out of the oven, let them rest on the cookie sheet for about five minutes. Once they rest, you can use a spatula and move them to a wire rack to cool.
