Crumbl Peanut Butter Reese’s cookies

When I saw that Crumbl had their Peanut butter cup ft Reese’s cookies I sprinted to get some… I didn’t run I sprinted guys!!

Even since moving to American, the infamous Reese’s peanut butter cup has been my ultimate guilty pleasure, sure it can be a little too sweet but that combination of chocolate and soft peanut butter center is so good to me! That’s why immediately I knew these cookies had to happen.

This is the best Reese’s peanut butter cookie ever!

I made these peanut butter cookies with a similar base to our CRUMBL Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies but made sure to add a good amount of chopped-up Reese’s peanut butter cups to stay within the theme. This way you get a thick and soft peanut butter cookie with a ton of peanut butter cup bits mixed in there.

The cookies are all finished with a beautiful melty mixture of peanut butter chips and a little oil to thin it out, then topped with more chopped dup peanut butter cups. This cookie is definitely sweeter than my go-to cookies, but hey it’s Reese’s so everything is acceptable in this case!

Why you need to make this recipe!

  • This cookie tastes like a Reese’s peanut butter cup on steroids.
  • Each cookie is thick and packed with peanut butter flavor.
  • You will be able to enjoy these Crumbl copycat cookies anytime, no need to wait for them to comeback in stores.
  • They are extremely each to make and look so impressive.
  • You can make them big or small depending on your preferences.

    This recipe is now my go to for peanut butter cookies! I loved the crumbl version so wanted to see if I could make something similar and these are just as good if not better than crumbl. I used 5 1/2 Tbsp of dough per cookie to get 9 cookies total. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    These cookies were perfect!!! I’ve made them twice. The first time I followed the recipe to the letter. Amazing. Second time I didn’t have enough peanut butter cups, so I used a half bag of Reese’s chips and a handful of mini chocolate chips. Still amazing. Thanks for a great recipe!! Going into the “keepers” file.😘

    These are amazing!! I tried the recipe last Sunday, because I was looking for some good recipes to bake & take on vacation with my brother’s family. I had every intention of taking the cookies into work on Monday morning, but I just couldn’t bring myself to give them away! My boyfriend & I ate them all by ourselves.

    Doubled recipe and made tonight! I made them smaller-got about 35 cookies from a double batch. Super good, just mega sweet! Glad I made them smaller-I could barely eat one! Didn’t have resses chips for frosting, so made my own frosting from butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, peanut bitterer and a dash of corn syrup. Turned out good-just when I put the chopped Reeses on, they ended up melting a bit more than desired. Still good though!
