1. Prepare the Dough

• In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy.
• Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until well combined.
• Beat in vanilla extract and egg until fully incorporated.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

3. Fold in the Candy

• Gently fold in chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and mini chocolate chips.

4. Shape the Cookies

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use a 1.5-inch cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
• Lightly press each cookie with a sugar-dipped glass to flatten slightly.

5. Bake the Cookies

• Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6. Optional Chocolate Drizzle

• For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies or press an extra piece of Reese’s on top before baking.
