These Crumbl peanut butter Reese’s cookies are what dreams are made of. Each cookie is thick and full of chopped-up peanut butter cups. They are then topped with a generous spread of melty peanut butter chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups.
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!
