I found this recipe on Cookie Madness; the official title is Get Well Soon! Cookies.

Giant Peanut Butter Cup Chunk Cookies

4 oz unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I used Skippy Natural)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon half & half (milk would probably work)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup coarsely chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, frozen
2.5 oz finely chopped good quality bittersweet or dark chocolate
Reese’s Pieces ( as many as you want)

Cream butter, peanut butter and both sugars with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla, egg, molasses and cream. Beat in salt, baking soda and baking powder, scraping sides of bowl to make sure ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add flour and stir until mixed. Stir in frozen peanut butter cups and shredded chocolate.

Chill the dough for 2 hours. Using about a quarter cup (2 oz) measure, shape into mounds. Chill the mounds some more or go ahead and bake them. Before baking, decorate tops with Reese’s Pieces.

Bake Temp: 350 F Time: 15 minutes (check at 12)
