Cookies are the ultimate sweet treat and are perfect for snacking any time of the year. I know they are my absolute favorite dessert. Over the years, I have shared our go-to soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, as well as our chocolate peanut butter chip cookie recipe and, most recently, our double peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.
As you can probably tell, we are obsessed with cookies, especially when they combine our love of peanut butter and chocolate. But, as much as I love that delicious flavor combination, there are times when I just want that sweet and salty peanut butter flavor.
So, I decided to make the ultimate peanut butter cookie, combining my favorite candy, Reese’s Pieces, with creamy peanut butter and peanut butter chips (adapted from my double peanut butter chocolate chip cookies) to create the most indulgent triple peanut butter cookie. These soft and chewy cookies are super easy to make with no chilling required. Plus, they are perfect for any occasion, including birthdays, holidays, or if you want a delicious and irresistible peanut buttery sweet and salty snack any day of the week.

Helpful tips to achieve the most delicious and soft cookie
- Preheat your oven. Don’t skip preheating, as it ensures that your cookies come out perfectly every time.
- Ensure butter is at room temperature. You can do this by taking it out earlier in the day or popping it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. Be sure not to melt the butter, otherwise, it will cause the cookies to become flat as they will spread too much while baking.
- Avoid undermixing the butter and sugar mixture. Make sure to stir the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Don’t overmix the dry ingredients. Unlike the wet ingredients, avoid overmixing as it may prevent your cookies from spreading at all. Mix the dough until it’s just combined.
- For best results, bake one sheet of cookies at a time. This is to ensure the cookies are baked evenly.
- Avoid placing your cookie dough on a warm baking sheet. This can also cause spreading, which will result in thinner, flatter cookies.
