Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 10 mini Reese's peanut butter cups, roughly chopped (or 5 large)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add butter. Beat with a hand mixer until creamy.
  3. Add cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Continue mixing until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
  5. Using a 1½ tablespoon scoop, drop dough onto the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart (6-8 cookies per baking sheet). Use the bottom of a glass to slightly flatten each cookie to about ½ inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Notes

- For the chewiest Reese's cookies, do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added; mix just until combined.
- If your cookies are spreading too much, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before scooping. This helps them hold their shape better.
- Store leftover Reese's cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
