Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat, and set aside. 2 In a large glass bowl, cream the peanut butter, applesauce and sugars together with a hand mixer, blending until smooth. 3 Crack the eggs, then pour them into the batter. Add the vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. 4 Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, then slowly add them to the batter, using the mixer on a low speed until the batter starts to come together. Beat on a higher speed until smooth and combined. 5 Sprinkle in the Reese's Pieces, and fold into the batter using a rubber spatula. 6 Dollop the batter on the prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon (or a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop.) Space 1/2" apart so the cookies can spread. Press the cookies down with the palm of your hand, then place a few additional Reese's Pieces on to the tops of the cookies. 7 Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set, and remove from the oven. 8 Cool on a wire cooling rack, and then enjoy!View original recipe
