I noticed a couple of boxes of Reese’s Pieces in my baking cabinet, so I decided to put them in some large chocolate cookies. These only make 8, so I cut them in half and put some melted chocolate chips on a few halves. Not sure why. Also not sure why I thought it was a good idea to turn on the oven and bake when it is hot and disgustingly humid. Anyways, we celebrate the home run derby with these tomorrow at work.

A few tips : Scoop your flour and baking cocoa from your containers into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. Chill your mounds of dough at least a couple of hours to prevent too much spreading. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

• Ingredients
• 8 tbs butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
• 1 egg
• 1 yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups Reese’s pieces

Directions – combine melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and baking cocoa. Add vanilla, egg, and yolk. Blend in flour, cornstarch and baking soda. Dough will be very soft. Fold in Reese’s pieces. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Chill a few hours on fridge. Preheat ovento 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I put 4 on a sheet at a time bc they are 1/4 cups of dough each. Bake 12 minutes (no longer). Cool completely. Store in covered container.
