Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon table salt
1 (3.4 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
1 ¼ cups halved Reese's mini peanut butter cups, divided
1 cup mini Reese's Pieces, divided
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat.
Beat the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until creamy. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla and mix again.
Stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and dry pudding mix. Slowly add to the peanut butter mixture until everything is mixed in.
Gently stir in the chocolate chips, 1 cup peanut butter cup halves, and ¾ cup Reese's Pieces. Make sure all the candies get mixed into the dough evenly.
Use a 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to make 36 even dough balls. Press the extra candy into the tops of the dough balls to make them bake pretty.
Place 12 dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the hot cookie sheet for 2 minutes, then gently move to a piece of parchment paper to cool completely.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These cookies are thick and puffy when they come out of the oven. Because they are loaded with candies, they do not spread as much as regular peanut butter cookies.
Use a flat spatula to gently tap the tops of the hot cookies to flatten them slightly. Be very careful doing this because it can mess up the tops of the cookies.
Want to make these into bar cookies? Press the dough into a greased 11x17 baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 11-12 minutes.
