Step-By-Step Instructions
Cream the softened butter and peanut butter in a stand mixing bowl with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer.
If using natural peanut butter, use a hand mixer, with one beater attached, to mix the natural peanut butter so no oil is seen and it is fully incorporated.
Next, add the sugars. Mix on low to medium speed for two minutes to allow the sugars to cream into the softened butter.
Add in the eggs, one at a time. Stir the mixture after each egg.
In a small bowl, add the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk it all together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Stir in the Reese’s peanut butter chips and the chocolate chips.
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet, and scoop out 12 equal balls of dough with a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop. Add chopped mini peanut butter cups to the tops.
Bake the cookies in a 325 degree F oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown with crispy edges. Do not overbake.
Allow the warm cookies to rest on the baking sheet for five minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack.
