Fudgy, chewy double chocolate cookies loaded with Reese’s Pieces! Chocolate peanut butter perfection 🙂
I have to admit, I feel a little weird sharing these.
I’m kind of a planner. Okay, so I’m kind of obsessing about planning things out in advance. I have my editorial calendar planned out 1-2 months in advance and I don’t do things last minute. I rarely share something here just because I happened to make it.
Most of the time, I come up with the ideas I want to try out, and test them, and spend hours photographing and editing photos before you see them here. I don’t just “wing it”.
And since this recipe is based off of my Mom’s Double Chocolate Cookies, I suppose I’m not really “winging it”, but it’s definitely not a recipe I planned to share or even planned to photograph (notice how my Reese’s Pieces are all over the place?? Definitely not strategically placed! 😉 ).
And no, they’re not Eastery, or Springy, or carrot or lemon or pastel, but they’re pretty darn good.
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.

I made these for a party at work and they turned out great! A bit sweet honestly but there were only 2 cookies left by the end of the party which speaks for itself!

Stacey @ Bake Eat Repeat says
It’s nice when something works out that you didn’t plan isn’t it?! I’m always so in awe of how you plan so far in advance – I totally just wing it!
Zainab says
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.
Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
Well I for one are so happy you posted these cookies, because they look incredibly fudgy, and chocolaty.

These are SO up my alley! I just love Reese’s Pieces…and I’m in awe of your organizational skills 🙂 I am slowly coming around now that I am using my CoSchedule calendar properly!

Alex says
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.
Medha says
These cookies look so so good! I am such a fan of the chocolate peanut butter combo 🙂 Pinning!
Ashley Fehr says
Thanks so much Medha!

Haha, I’m a little obsessed! Thanks Ami!

Eeek I’m all about winging it 😉 hahah! These cookies were definitely a good result of going off calendar…they look so delicious! I must try these soon 🙂

Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Sometimes the best things in life aren’t planned! And i’m so glad you are “winging it” and sharing these cookies anyways, because they look seriously delish, Ashley! WAY too good to keep all to yourself! Chocolate and peanut butter perfection up in here! I’ll take a few dozen, dear! 😉 Pinned! Cheers!

Julie Evink says
We are the same person. Seriously. It’s scary. Although even if these weren’t strategically planned I think they are FABULOUS!
Ashley Fehr says
Lol. So totally! Thanks Julie! 🙂
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!
