Ingredients

For the Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies:

  • 1 ¼ Cups Creamy Unsweetened Peanut Butter (I exclusively use Adams)
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Large Egg + 1 Large Egg Yolk
  • ½ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Reeses Pieces Eggs, chopped (reserve a small amount to press into tops of cookies if desired)

For the Peanut Butter Frosting:

  • ½ Cup Salted Butter, softened to room temperature
  • ½ Cup Creamy Unsweetened Peanut Butter
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar, sifted to remove any lumps
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Half and Half

Instructions

  • Instructions:
    1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
    2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy unsweetened peanut butter, granulated sugar, baking soda, egg, egg yolk, and pure vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
    3. Roll dough balls in sugar: Roll each tablespoon-sized portion of dough in granulated sugar until coated. Then, place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • 4. Flatten the cookies: Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork or a potato masher to create a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie.
    5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • 6. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    7. Prepare the peanut butter frosting: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened salted butter and creamy unsweetened peanut butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Add 1-2 tablespoons of half and half to reach your desired consistency
  • 8. Frost the cookies: Once the cookies have cooled completely, spread or pipe the peanut butter frosting onto the tops of the cookies.
    9. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Flourless Reeses Pieces Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
  • Note: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
