Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter Softened
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Creamy
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Packed
  • 1 cup Suagr
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 Eggs
  • 4 cups Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 cups Peanut butter chips Reese’s Brand
  • 1/3 cup Sugar For rolling dough balls in

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.

  2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a very large mixing bowl using a hand mixer ( or you can use a stand mixer) mix butter, peanut butter brown sugar and sugar until creamed. 

  4. Add vanilla and mix.

  5. Add eggs, one at time, mixing well after each addition.

  6. Next, add in flour mixture a little at a time, to prevent flour from going everywhere. Note: Mixture will be VERY thick. This is normal.

  7. With a large metal spoon (you’ll need a sturdy spoon for this batter), fold in peanut butter chips.

  8. Place additional !/3 cup sugar into a small bowl.

  9. Using your hands, make golf ball sized balls , roll in sugar and place on to a cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Using the bottom of a drinking glass, gently press down on the dough ball until flattened to about 1/4 of an inch thick.

  10. Place in oven and cook EXACTLY 7 minutes. These cookies are meant to be soft and STAY soft. Remove from oven and let rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove off of pan and on to a cooling rack ( I use just a long sheet of wax paper on the counter). 

  11. Repeat the process on a cool cookie sheet, until all 36 are complete. Once completely cooled and set up, store in a large tupperware like container to keep them soft and fresh for days.
