There’s a difference between needing and wanting a cookie. Today was one of those days whenΒ I needed one. Ok, I pretty much feel like this every Friday, but a bag of Reeses Pieces at CVSΒ ignited my cookie craving, and I just couldn’t get the possibilities out of my mind. I mean, the thought of Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Cookies popped into my head before I even purchased the candy. I needed to make them happen!

Instead of liquid egg whites, how many eggs would I use? One?
@Katie @ cooklaughmove: That sounds about right, but I’m not really sure. Maybe try Googling it?
@Tina: I would use about 2 egg whites. π Based on personal experience.
tina, these look awesome! you did a good job on reducing the fat and adding those resees pieces. great job!
YUM!
Now that has really made me have a craving bec we actually ran out of PB this morning! I can’t believe I let it happen, bad foodie blogger π
they look delish as always! π
This looks like heaven on a plate!! Anything with peanut butter on top of peanut butter is a-ok in my book. π
Those look so good! I would kill for one right now! (That’s just my stomach talking…I’m stuck at my comp at work and haven’t had lunch yet!) π
Oh my gosh, these sound amazing!!! I know what you mean about ‘needing’. Sometimes, you’ve just gotta give in. Happy Cookie Friday! π
I could use those right now! Happy Cookie Friday!
I love Reese’s Pieces and I love cookies. I want these!
OMG those look/sound amazing! Reese’s Pieces always remind me of movie theaters. Except I call them Reecees Peecees. LOL
Reeses pieces are one of the candies I truly miss. They were a childhood favorite. Enjoy these cookies for me! YUM!
Reeses pieces and pb cookies? yeah… This recipe has gone in my “must make” file for after my show. π
This sounds amazing!!! Peanut Butter and chocolate belong together. Always.
I pretty much need these exact cookies in my life right now.
I can’t believe you’re not on your way to NYC to feed me those cookies. Not cool.
That being said, they look amazing. You rule.
Love how your recipes always seem to make a reasonable amount of cookies. You know…just in case you end up eating all of them!!
Oh my god. Reeses Pieces were one of my trigger foods when I was obese. I could eat gallons of them! YUM. Those cookies look great. I think I could eat those in moderation…I think….. π
Yum!! I haven’t had Reese’s in such a long time!!
Must. Bake.
Nothing ever makes me want to bake. Except for anything with Reese’s or Reese’s peanut butter cups in them…thanks for the recipe! π
So fun! I’ve always loved Reeses!
I like how you think! This is what cookies should look like!
Love anything peanut butter! I have been making teeny bit size cookies recently and they have been great for just popping one or two but not going overboard (or not going overboard as often!)
Oh yes! I’ve made cookies like these before, and they are to die for!!
I think I might have to make a batch of cookies in honor of cookie Friday today!!
These look good! I love peanut butter π great job
I love peanut butter and reese’s pieces. Just need to wait for Lent to end since I gave up nut butters.
Wow! Why have I never thought of adding one of my favorite candies to cookie dough?! These sound amazing! Can’t wait to try them…thanks for the idea!
YUM!! They look really chunky and delicious. Do you just use your regular Teddy in these cookies? I wonder if chunky vs. creamy peanut butter makes much of a difference.. or am i just daydreaming about peanut butter again π
Tina, your sweet tooth is worse than mine. You really do have the perfect name for your blog!!! Those cookies sound delicious. Maybe you could have a cookie give-away??? lol
Interesting that you use wholewheat flour for a cookie. Might try that
Yummm! Those look great! π
Wow, these cookies look amazing! I love Reeses!!! Peanut butter and chocolate = the best combination ever! π
I love that your recipe is for 12 cookies! My boyfriend doesn’t eat sweets so the bigger the recipe, the more I *have* to eat π These look tasty!
This semi-reminds me of a recipe I featured awhile back, but with only 2 ingredients! 1 bag reese’s pb cups and 1 egg – puree in food processor until smooth, drop on cookie sheet and bake. I know…it doesn’t sound like it will work but it does! The end result is a crisp, yet chewy in the middle cookie:)
Those cookies remind me of high school. I used to make a cookie with Reeses pieces when I got home after school at least twice a week π
Is there a way to rip these right out of the screen? So there’s no waiting for the baking time? Ohhhh that’d be fantastic. π
Pb overload- my kinda cookie!
Peanut butter + peanut butter?! Printing off this recipe now!
You are so evil!!! Now i NEED them π
I kind of feel like I “need” a cookie a little too often:-)
Those look incredible! I put Reese’s in my husband’s cookies the other day!
These looks deeelish!!! I seriously love reese’s pieces! I also have a question since we are on the topic of cookies. I was wondering if you have any good tips for portion control (or just general self-control) when it comes to sweets. I don’t know what it is I’m really good with using moderation when it comes to anything else but with sweets (especially chocolate) I can’t seem to stop myself? Any tips?
gahhh! omg those look delish!
I’ve never tried peanut butter chips! I just ran out of chocolate chips so I think I need to get some of these instead π
I need to make these with almond M&Ms–my fav π Awesome idea, Tina!!
I NEED a cookie too! Those cookies look delish!!
no. way. reese’s pieces are my favorite candy! i’ll definitely be making these. thank you for sharing!
Those look so good… I want to jump through my screen!
Yummers!
Reese’s is my all time favourite candy… still can’t decide whether I like the peanut butter cups or the pieces better. Although for cookie making purposes, the pieces obviously win π
These seriously would not last long in this house!
There is this little shop next to my house that sells freshly made every day, amazing reeses pieces pb cookies, it is to dangerous for my likings!
