Reese's Cakey Cookies
| PREP TIME: 15 MIN | COOK TIME: 10 MIN | TOTAL TIME: 25 MIN |
If you love Reeses and you love cake then you will love these delicious cookies that have a cake like texture and go great alone, with some buttercream or ice cream!
A little secret…
This is in fact the same recipe as my Turtle cookies which is the recipe I use for my chocolate chip and many other combinations cookies. There is only one small change that give these cookies the cake like texture and that is Baking Powder. The difference in the leavening I use for each type of cookie changes the results of the texture but is key to these two very alike but also so different delicious cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 Cups Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Unsalted Butter (Room Temp)
- 2 Large Eggs (Room Temp)
- 2 Tsp Vanilla
- 2 1/3 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Mini Reeses
- 1 Cup Mini Reeses to top cookies before oven
Instructions
Make sure your butter and eggs are room temperature and this dough will come together beautifully.
- In a large bowl mix sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla thoroughly mixing until combined and creamed but do not over mix.
- In a separate bowl sift you flour, salt and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to your creamed mixture in two portions on low speed. Once everything is combined scrape the sides and bottom of your bowl and and add your Mini Reeses until combined but do not over mix.
- Place the dough on parchment paper and cover in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
- Drop the dough by teaspoonful onto baking sheet and top with more Reese’s.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 mins(Mine bake in 10) until golden brown on the bottom.
Tips
- I take the Mini Reeses and cut them in half to cover the top of the cookie before baking and it works great.
- These refrigerate beautifully for up to 5 days and up to 1 month frozen.
- Try also with the White Chocolate Reeses super delicious.
