These Reeses Pieces peanut butter cookies are a yummy treat for peanut butter lovers.The cookies are soft and slightly chewy, with added crunch from the candies.

The recipe is from the Hershey’s Kitchens, a great site to visit for recipes using some of the favorite Hershey’s products. It has a wide array of recipes for various seasons and occasions, as well as tips and tutorials that make baking easier. The site also has a gluten-free expert who shares tips on how to convert recipes to gluten-free without sacrificing taste or texture.

These cookies are great to make ahead and freeze. I made a batch last weekend that I will pull out and throw on a snack table this weekend for a group of teenagers.
