Crumbl Peanut Butter Reeseโ€™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.

    Chewy, peanut buttery, and satisfying! As an avid reese’s lover, I knew these cookies would not disappoint. Probably one of the best peanut butter cookie bases I’ve ever had! I also loved the addition of melted reese’s chips on top. These are perfect warm, chilled, or room temperature ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks for such a lovely recipe, Chahinez! I’m excited to see which crumbl cookies you make next.
