Ingredients:

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ¼ cups halved Reese’s mini peanut butter cups, divided
  • 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces, divided

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue beating until fully combined.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and instant vanilla pudding mix.
Step 4: Form the Cookie Dough
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  2. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup of halved Reese’s mini peanut butter cups, and ¾ cup of mini Reese’s Pieces.
Step 5: Scoop the Dough
  1. Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form 36 dough balls.
  2. Press the remaining Reese’s candy pieces (both peanut butter cups and Reese’s Pieces) into the tops of the dough balls for a decorative touch.
