Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Pie

Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust, thawed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Reese’s pieces
• 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups

Instructions

1. Pie Crust Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a pie plate, shaping decorative flutes along the edge.
2. Cream Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well blended.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add flour to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
5. Add Candy: Gently stir in Reese’s Pieces and chopped peanut butter cups into the dough.
6. Fill and Bake: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the crust is golden.
7. Cool: Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour to set properly before slicing.

Optional Serving Suggestion: Serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra touch of decadence.

Enjoy!
