Reese's Pieces Cookies

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the ½ cup unsalted butter (i.e. 1 stick) for 45-60 seconds until melted. I recommend covering your bowl with a paper towel to prevent splattering.

Add ½ cup light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar and mix until combined. 

Mix in 1 large egg + 1 extra yolk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Stir in ½ cup creamy peanut butter.

Mix in ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.

Add 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour and mix until all the flour disappears into the dough.

Lastly, mix in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup Reese's Pieces.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop dough into 4-tablespoon sized scoops. If desired, press a couple extra Reese's Pieces onto the top of the cookies.

Bake at 350℉ for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from oven and place entire pan on a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool on the hot pan for 15-20 minutes before removing them. This will allow them to finish baking on the hot pan. Once cooled, use a spatula to transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
