Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 Tbsp butter (softened)
  • 4 Tbsp peanut butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional--the cookies don't take on any coffee flavor, but the espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor)
  • 2-3 Tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup Reese's cups (chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and peanut butter until well incorporated. Add in brown sugar and white sugar; cream. Beat in the egg, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Lastly, add in vanilla extract and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and espresso powder. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Dough will be thick.
  • Once combined, add in milk, beginning with 2 Tbsp. If the dough still seems extra thick, add in the last Tbsp.
  • Add in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup Reese's cups (save the 1/4 cup for later); mix.
  • With a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tbsp of dough), place the dough evenly on a cookie sheet, about 6 per tray.*
  • With the remaining Reese's cups, place 1-2 pieces in each ball of cookie dough.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies look firm.
  • Enjoy with milk!
