Troubleshooting Your Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Triple Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies can crumble if the dough isn’t fully mixed or has too many candy chunks. Since there’s no flour, the egg and sugar must bind the dough well. For cookies that spread too much, chill the dough briefly before baking. Always bake just until the edges set don’t overbake. For better texture and presentation, press a few extra Reese’s Pieces on top before baking.
