Best Reese's Pieces Cookie Recipe

These tasty cookies are very similar to the incredibly popular M&M cookies, but use Reese's Pieces instead for a burst of peanut butter flavor! They have the base of a chocolate chip cookie but don't include chocolate chips (although that would be a tasty addition!)

I think these cookies would be a fun addition to any Halloween festivities you may be hosting, but yet they are simple enough to enjoy year-round, too! You really can't go wrong with them!
