Sometimes peanut butter doesnโt hold a candle to chocolate.
And sometimes I get a craving that only peanut butter can satiate.
Well last night I got a whopper of a peanut butter craving. The Husband is out of town so I decide to cave (Heโs not a big fan of the peanut butter cookie. I know, who is this man?!).
I started perusing my Pinterest boards to find a new recipe to try. Iโve been wanting try this one by Averieย at Averie Cooks for a while now, but you have to refrigerate it over night.
How was that going to help me now?
And this ridiculously, amazing XL Bakery-Style Peanut Butter Cookieย from Crazy For Crust has been on my list for a while now tooโฆRefrigerate at least 4 hours.
Four hours? Thatโs like an eternity!
So I decided to forget trying a new recipe, and to use old-faithful. The no-fail, super peanut buttery, chewy cookie that you can have in the oven in 5 minutes!
5 minutes! Now we are on the same page!
And because a peanut butter cookie wasnโt enough peanut butter for this craving, I folded in some mini Reeseโs peanut butter cups and Reeseโs chips. I was on peanut butter cloud 9.
Soft, chewy, and more peanut butter flavor than you thought possible.
This time I also made them bigger. Because when has a bigger cookie proven to be worse?
Never. Thatโs when.
The larger cookie also accommodates the Reeseโs chips better. More cookie to love!
It makes 8 cookies, which, by my calculation, is enough for one person, maybe two.
These oversized Loaded Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies are a no-fail, super peanut buttery, chewy cookie that you can have in the oven in 5 minutes! Fast, easy AND delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (I use Jiff, because itโs amazing.)
- 1 egg
- ยฝ cup dark brown sugar, loosely packed
- ยฝ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ยฝ cup mini Reeseโs peanut butter cups
- ยผ cup (rounded) Reeseโs peanut butter chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ยฐ and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Throw the first five ingredients in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer until well blended, about 2 minutes. Stir in chips and mini Reeseโs cups. Wasnโt that crazy easy? Tap your foot in impatience until the oven actually finishes preheating.
- Scoop 2โ cookie scoop sized balls of dough onto baking sheet and space them 2 inches apart.
- Bake 11-14 minutes. I baked mine for 12 minutes but I am a habitual under baker. Let cool on the cookie sheet before removing. They will fall apart.
- Try not to eat them all in one sitting.

March 23, 2014 at 1:08 amOk, these? They are some majorly, serious, nummy-ness going on. I could go for at least 1/2 dozen of these right now and another 1/2 dozen for breakfast! Because I can imagine these going amazing with coffee!
Lindsey
March 23, 2014 at 10:40 amOooooo. You are so right! These would be AMAZING with coffee! You’d better whip up a double batch, because when someone takes the last one of these cookies, it’s like the end of the world. For serious.

March 24, 2014 at 8:23 pmMy hubby does not like pb cookies either! So I really need to find an excuse to whip up a batch of this loaded version…YUM!
Lindsey
March 24, 2014 at 8:44 pmSo glad to know I’m not alone here! Too bad we don’t live closer because then we could just enjoy pb cookies amongst ourselves! ๐

April 5, 2014 at 4:22 pmHi I am planning to make these but just wanted to double check that there is no flour in the cookie? Flour wasn’t listed in the ingredients and want to be sure before I make them. They look spectacular!!!
Lindsey
April 5, 2014 at 8:51 pmThat’s correct! They are flourless! I hope you enjoy!
Melanie
April 5, 2014 at 7:56 pmThey are very tasty, but is there really supposed to be no flour? They came out falling apart even after sitting when out of the oven. Did I miss something?
Lindsey
April 5, 2014 at 9:04 pmThey are flourless so you really have to make sure to cream the ingredients well. They are more crumbly than the original ones I baked. These hold together better the fewer “add-ins” they have in them. The last cookie of the batch, I really smashed it together before I baked it. Overall they were more crumbly than I would want a chocolate chip cookie, but I didn’t have a problem with them falling apart after baking.
