Get the best recipe for Reese’s Pieces chocolate cookies you’ve ever had! You’ll love the combination of chocolate-y, soft, and chewy.

Not a lot of people in my personal life know this (and probably don’t care anyway), but for me – this is the year of the cookie.

It’s the year of more baking for me in general, but I want to specifically do a lot more cookies. I want to give some for gifting, and participate in some Christmas cookie exchanges!

I’ve been living in my neighborhood for six years and have yet to give my neighbors even any edible gifts. That’s pathetic for a craft and recipe blogger. I need to disperse my creative magic around the ‘hood in the form of baked goods.

I’m going to try some unique cookie recipes, but I’m also going to do some basic ones too. Basic in terms of ingredients, not basic in terms of taste, of course.

I think that these Reese’s Pieces chocolate cookies fit that description well! They’re very simple to make, but not simple tasting. They are soft, moist, decadent, and delicious!

Basically you’re looking at a double chocolate chip cookie with Reese’s Pieces in it. The Reese’s Pieces add that peanut butter flavor that just goes so well with the base.

I highly recommend putting these Reese’s Pieces chocolate cookies in the microwave for a few seconds before consuming. The slightly melted Reese’s combined with the cookie . . . Jesus take the wheel.

Here’s what you’re going to need for these Reese’s Pieces chocolate cookies.

Ingredients

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces candies, divided

Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They’ll last a few weeks in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to six months. When you bring them out of the freezer, let them rise to room temperature naturally as opposed to microwaving.

These would be awesome at a bake sale! Get the printable recipe for these tasty cookies below:
