Calories 305kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter (1½ sticks)
- ¾ cup brown sugar - loosely packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp table salt
- ¾ cup Reese’s Pieces candies - divided
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar & granulated sugar together in a large bowl.
- Whisk in the egg and egg yolk, along with the vanilla extract.
- Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and mix until combined.
- Fold in half of the Reese's Pieces and all of the white chocolate chips.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours – up to 3 days Overnight works best.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature while you preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Line the baking sheets with parchment.
- Roll the dough into large, oblong-shaped balls (taller than they are wide) – approx. 3 tbsp each. The dough will be crumbly but will come together when rolled between your hands.
- Place the dough on your prepared baking sheet, approx. 1-2” apart.
- Place Reese’s Pieces into the top of the dough before baking.
- Bake 11-12 minutes – they will look very soft but will continue to bake once removed and they will set.
- Place any additional Reese’s Pieces or chocolate chips in the tops of the baked cookies before they cool, if desired.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
