Chocolate Peanut butter Reese's pieces Halloween cookie recipe:
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all purpose flour 100g
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder 30g
1/4 Teaspoon sea salt 1.5g
1/2 Teaspoon baking soda 3g
1/2 Cup salted butter (melted and cooled) 113g
1/2 Cup peanut butter125g
1/2 Cup packed brown sugar 90g
1/3 C White granulated sugar 65g
1 Large egg (Room temperature) 55-60g
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 90g
1/2 C mini Reese's pieces + 2 tablespoons for the tops * 100g
*For Halloween themed cookies remove the yellow Reese's piece and just use the orange and brown ones.
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350F/175C. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper (optional). In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda, Whisk until combined. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer combine butter, peanut butter and both sugars. Mix on medium low for around 2 minutes until it is well combined. Add in the egg and continue mixing until well incorporated. Add in the dry mixture and mix on low until the dough comes together. Add in 1/2 of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup mini Reese's pieces (reserving 2 tablespoons for the tops of the cookies). Mix with a spatula until just combined. Use a 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop (or 2 spoons) to scoop out balls of cookie dough and place them on the prepared pans, ensuring that you leave room for spreading. Place the remaining Reese's pieces candies on top. Bake for 8 - 10 Minutes, the edges should be crisp but the center should look slightly underbaked. Allow to cool on the pan for a five minutes before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. This recipe makes 18-22 cookies (depending on the size of your scoop) and they will keep at room temperature for 3 days (but I promise they won't last that long). These can also be portioned into dough balls and frozen for up to 2 months. Just allow the dough to come to room temperature before baking!
