Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well incorporated.

      Add Pudding Mix: Gradually mix in the instant chocolate pudding mix until well combined. The mixture will thicken slightly.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.

          Fold in chocolate chips and Reese's: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft; that’s okay, as they will firm up as they cool.

                Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Reese's Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies with a glass of milk!
