Reese's Premier Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies

Submitted by BamaBelle30

"I found this recipe on the back of the package for the chocolate pieces. (The Reese's baking pieces to use are the newer Premier milk chocolate cups with peanut butter creme.) These cookies are easy to make and taste great! *Chocolate cookie variation: Decrease flour to 1 cup and add 1/3 cup cocoa.*"

This were flatter and crisper than I like my cookies, but the flavor was good. The kids all loved them. The mini peanut butter cups are kind of unique. None of us could really taste the peanut butter, but that's not the recipe's fault. ;)

Great chewy peanut butter cookies! I used brown sugar Spenda and granulated Splenda which reduced the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. I also used Reese's Pieces instead of the baking pieces which adds color to the batch. I will be making this again real soon! Thanks for posting!
