PEANUT BUTTER REESE'S PIECES COOKIES

Peanut Butter Reese's Pieces Cookies image

The original recipe was Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from Southern Living. I simply replaced the semisweet chocolate morsels in the original recipe with Reese's Pieces. My husband loves peanut butter and this is his favorite treat.
