Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract to the mixture, and continue beating until fully combined.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and instant vanilla pudding mix.
Step 4: Form the Cookie Dough
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- 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
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form 36 dough balls.
- 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.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
- Place 12 dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly golden.
Step 7: Cool the Cookies
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
