These cookies are always a hit! These are OoEey GoOeY, soft, thick brownie like cookies loaded with Reeses Peanut Butter-y Goodness!!
This recipe is great because it lets you mix n’ match add-ins too! You can add in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, I even added mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups on for more peanut butter goodness because who can resist more chocolate and peanut butter!
**Note** If you add the Mini Reeses Cups you have to freeze them and add them to cookies once they are cooked.
I like to make these cookies for halloween because of the colours. But I also like to make them for Christmas as well and I switch from Reeses Pieces to the red and green peanut butter M&Ms.

- Using a cookie scoop (Approximate size 3 tablespoons) drop dough onto the cookie sheets. do not flatten
- Bake 9-11 minutes until the edges are set. The centers of the cookies may look under cooked; this is ok

** If using Reese Peanut Butter Mini Cups make sure to get the ones that are unwrapped. Put the cups into the freezer while you make the cookies.
