LOADED PEANUT BUTTER CUP CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Category: Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup Reeses Pieces
1 pkg mini Reeses peanut butter cups, cut into halves and freeze

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together the butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, and baking soda; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and Reeses Pieces (this is best done by hand so the shells of the Reeses Pieces do not get broken).

Drop by tbspfuls onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper. Push one peanut butter cup half into the center of each ball of dough. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes (I baked mine about 11 minutes). Let cool for 1 or 2 minutes on sheet before removing, or they will fall apart.
