Ingredients

3 Sticks Unsalted Butter (melted and slightly cooled)
2 Cups Brown Sugar (packed)
½ Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs (whole)
2 Egg Yolks
3 Tsp Vanilla Extract
4 Cups Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
½ Tsp Salt
1½ Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
2 Cups Reese's Peanut Butter Candies (topping)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large 11 x 14 baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or KitchenAid Mixer, combine the melted, slightly cooled butter with the brown sugar and white sugar. Stir together until well mixed and smooth.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the 2 whole eggs, 2 egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Stir until fully combined and the batter becomes creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick cookie dough forms.
Mix in Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and Reese’s peanut butter chips evenly throughout the dough.
Spread the Dough: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared 11 x 14 baking pan, making sure it's smooth and level.
Top with Reese’s Pieces: Sprinkle the Reese’s Pieces candies generously over the top, pressing them lightly into the dough.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
