Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and slightly glossy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and cocoa powder to break up any lumps. Gradually add this mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it slightly in your palm, and place a Miniature Reese's in the center. Wrap the dough around the candy and roll into a smooth ball.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar until well-coated and place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze unbaked cookie balls for up to 3 months.
