A Reese’s Twist on Mom’s Classic Recipe
I don’t usually just wing it when creating a recipe. Most of the time, I come up with the ideas I want to try out, test them, and spend hours on photography and editing before you see them here.
But these Reese’s double chocolate cookies just kind of happened. And I’m so glad they did! They are based on my Mom’s Double Chocolate Cookies, so I suppose I’m not really “winging it,” but it sure does prove you don’t have to be a “type A” planner to make an amazing dessert.
Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces, these cookies are a chocolate and peanut butter lover’s dream!

“These turned out fabulous and they’re so easy to make! The cookie base is salty, but really pairs well with the Reese’s pieces. Yum!!!” – Alex
Ingredients for Reese’s Double Chocolate Cookies
- Butter: Use room temperature butter so it creams together perfectly with the sugar.
- Flour: Regular all-purpose flour works best to give these cookies some structure.
- Unsweetened cocoa: Use a good-quality cocoa powder for that deep, rich chocolate flavor.
- Chocolate chips: Because you can never have too much chocolate! I like semi-sweet best.
- Reese’s Pieces: The main event! You can use regular Reese’s Pieces or the mini version if you prefer.

Tips for Baking Reese’s Double Chocolate Cookies
- These cookies will look slightly underdone when you pull them out. That’s perfect! They continue cooking on the hot pan.
- Once you add the flour, mix just until combined to keep the cookies nice and tender.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure the cookies are all the same size and bake evenly.
- Set aside a handful of Reese’s Pieces to press into the tops of cookie balls before baking for a prettier presentation.
How to Store Reese’s Double Chocolate Cookies
Store your Reese’s double chocolate cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days to keep them soft and chewy, or freeze them for up to 2-3 months.
I recommend using wax paper between stacked cookies to prevent sticking!
Reese’s Double Chocolate Cookies
written by Ashley Fehr
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper (optional).
- Cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs and combine.
- Add flour, baking soda, cocoa, and salt and beat until a dough forms (it should hold together easily but be dry enough that you can roll into balls without coating your hands, but not crumbly). Stir in chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces.
- Roll into 1″ balls and place about 2″ apart on prepared baking sheets (you can make larger cookies, but you’ll need to be fewer to a pan and bake a little longer). Bake for 8-9 minutes until centers are just set or only a tiny bit glossy in the center — they will set as they cool.

Hahha I wish I was that much of a planner. I do plan a few weeks ahead with ideas but every now and then I get inspired and throw something together on the whim..which most times are the most popular on the blog. I am glad you shared these cookies…my PB and chocolate loving husband will love them.

No water or liquid in mix?
The Recipe Rebel says
Hi Alex! This is a pretty standard cookie dough. It has eggs and vanilla in them. I’ve actually never heard of adding water to cookie dough.

Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
I’m the EXACT same way as you! I have most of my recipes completed through the end of May and usually only share things at the last minute due to sponsored content, etc. But, I would definitely make an exception for these, too! Love the double chocolate and peanut butter in here!
Ashley Fehr says
Haha! It is a little crazy, isn’t it?? You are even further ahead than me! But I am SO excited to start making Spring and Summer recipes that I won’t be far behind 😉 Thanks Gayle!
