Reeses Cookie Bites Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Goodness

Instructions:

1. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Combine peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and milk in a bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually Add Dry to Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
6. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
8. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
9. Scoop and Fill: Scoop out level teaspoons of dough. Flatten slightly and place a small amount (about ½ teaspoon) of peanut butter filling in the center of each. Form the dough around the filling, sealing it completely. Roll gently into a ball.
10. Bake: Place the cookie bites on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes: Bake until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
12. Cool: Let the cookie bites cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
