What Makes Them So Epic?

Then, after baking, we slather on a bold layer of melty peanut butter chips—thinned out just enough with a touch of oil—before showering even more cups on top. Pro Tip: Freezing the dough for 15 minutes ensures that signature Crumbl height and chew.

Frequently Asked Q’s
Can I stash these cookies? Absolutely. Store at room temp in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for 7 days—just zap ’em in the microwave for 5–10 seconds to revive that gooey magic.
Want mini versions for a crowd? Go for 18 smaller cookies instead of 9 big ones. Bake 9–10 minutes, cool 10 minutes, then let the happy munching commence.
Can I freeze the dough or baked cookies? You bet. Dough lasts 2 months in the freezer—thaw overnight or microwave briefly. Baked cookies freeze well, too; just let them thaw or nuke them for that fresh-baked vibe.

Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ cup roughly chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups (about 5 cups)
For the Peanut Butter Drizzle & Topping
- ⅔ cup Reese’s peanut butter chips
- 1½ teaspoons neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- ½ cup additional chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups (about 5 cups)
Instructions
- Prep & Heat
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix the Base
- In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Crack in the egg and pour in the vanilla. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.
- Fold in the Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Stir just until the flour streaks vanish—do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s cups so they’re evenly distributed.
- Shape & Chill
- Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 9 dough balls.
- Roll each ball between your palms and press them into 1-inch-thick discs.
- Freeze the trays of dough discs for 15 minutes—this helps the cookies keep their height.
- Bake
- Place the chilled discs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
- Bake for 12–13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
- Drizzle & Decorate
- While cookies bake, combine the peanut butter chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until silky smooth.
- As soon as cookies come out of the oven, spoon or drizzle the melted chips over each one.
- Top with the extra chopped Reese’s cups, pressing lightly so they stick.
- Cool & Enjoy
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet until the drizzle firms up.
- Transfer to a wire rack if desired, or dive in straight away!
