Extra Large Reese's Cookie

INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) Mini Chocolate Chips
• 16 full size Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (8 packs)
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Unwrap candy and chop each peanut butter cup into forths. Set aside.
   
3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and peanut butter cups. Stir to combine. The peanut butter cups will break up slightly when stirred into the dough.
   
4. Grease 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan or a pizza pan with edges. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. I used a pizza pan with edges, and lined it with parchment paper. The cookie will "puff up" a little but the parchment paper keeps it in the pan without it flowing over.
