Reese's Pookies


Jason is so much of a cookie monster that I have to hide the cookies in the evening so he wont eat them for breakfast. This is our favorite cookie recipe, which we call Reeces's Pookies, it is basically chocolate chip cookies with Reese's pieces. The peanut butter is not as overwhelming as in traditional peanut butter cookies, plus it retains all the soft gooeyness of grandma's secret, chocolate chip cookies recipe.

Makes about 36 cookies

preheat oven to 375
grease or line 2 cookie sheets

whisk together;
one cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
half teaspoon baking soda

beat in a large bowl until well blended;
half a cup (one stick) unsalted butter, softened
half a cup of sugar
half a cup of packed light brown sugar

add and beat until well combined;
one large egg
one fourth teaspoon salt
one and a half teaspoons vanilla

stir in the flour mixture until well blended and smooth;
stir in one cup of Reece's Peanut butter chips

drop the dough by heaping tablespoons about two inches apart on the cookie sheets
bake until slightly brown on top and edges eight to ten minutes

let stand briefly then remove to a rack and cool

Enjoy
