Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks, room temperature

2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
6 packages (1-1/2 ounces each) peanut butter cups, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg yolks, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chips and peanut butter cup pieces.

Test Kitchen Tips

Dark brown sugar contains more molasses than light or golden brown sugar. The types are generally interchangeable in recipes. But if you prefer a bolder flavor, choose dark brown sugar.

Unless otherwise specified, Taste of Home recipes are tested with lightly salted butter. Unsalted, or sweet, butter is sometimes used to achieve a buttery flavor, such as in shortbread cookies or buttercream frosting. In these recipes, added salt would detract from the buttery taste desired.
