 Ingredients List

  • 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 whole eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
  • 2 Tbsp vanilla
  • 3 cups assorted candy (I used 1 cup Raisinettes, 3/4 cup Milk Duds, 3/4 cup Reese's Pieces, 1/2 cup Mini M&Ms)
  • *optional flaked or coarse sea salt for sprinkling

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325°
2. Combine butter and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt together for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue in 15 second increments until mixture is melted and smooth.
3. In a separate large bowl whisk together flour and baking soda. Set aside.
4. In your stand mixer combine eggs, egg yolks, vanilla and sugar. Mix on medium until combined and smooth. Turn mixer to low and slowly pour in your butter/peanut butter mixture. Continue stirring until combined.
5. With mixer still on low, gradually add your flour mixture until just combined. Batter will be thick.
6. Now add in your assorted candies and stir until they are evenly distributed.
7. Now form you batter into "golf ball" sized dough balls. I used my 3 Tbsp scooper.
8. Place on a baking sheet, about 2" apart and sprinkle with sea salt flakes (if desired). Bake for 10-12 minutes.
9. Cookies will be puffy, but will be golden around the edges.
10. Let cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
