What’s In these Peanut Butter Cookies with Reese’s Pieces?
- Reese’s Pieces – I love these delicious candy-coated peanut butter bites. They are delicious on their own, and really take these cookies to the next level.
- Peanut Butter: or you can substitute an almond or cashew butter instead. Like my peanuts, I only use unsalted peanut butter to keep it healthy.
- Granulated Sugar: I like this organic sugar for my recipes, I recommend organic sugar for cooking and baking.
- Egg
The amazing thing about these cookies is that they are ready so quickly! I preheated the oven, and by the time it was ready, I had the dough made, formed, and the cookies ready on the baking sheet.
Plus they use mostly pantry staple ingredients, so super friendly for those times when you haven’t been to the grocery store in a while.
Substitutions for Eggs in These Cookies
There are some fantastic pantry alternatives to an egg.
- Applesauce – substitute 1/4 of applesauce for each egg required in recipe
- Flax ‘egg’ – a classic vegan baking hack, mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 2 tablespoons of water, let sit for 1 minute
- Corn Starch – mix 1 tablespoon corn starch with 3 tablespoons water for each egg in recipe
