    Ingredients for Reese's peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips and text overlay beside each ingredient.
    • Butter - I use salted butter in this recipe. If you are using unsalted butter, I recommend adding ½ tsp. salt to the dry ingredients. Butter should be at room temperature. Take the butter out of the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before starting your recipe.
    • Peanut butter - Smooth peanut butter is ideal in this recipe. All natural peanut butter is not recommended and would create a completely different texture in the cookies.
    • Brown sugar - light brown sugar is what I use in most of my baking recipes. You can also use dark brown sugar.
    • Granulated sugar
    • Eggs - large eggs at room temperature. Take the eggs out of the refrigerator about 30 to 60 minutes before you begin the recipe.
    • Baking Soda
    • Vanilla extract - pure vanilla extract will produce the best flavour or you can use artificial vanilla extract.
    • Chocolate chips - milk chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips.
    • Reese's peanut butter cups - I used the mini reese's in this recipe, cut in half or you can use the regular-sized ones and cut them into four to six pieces.
