Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Cookies

We are big chocolate chip cookie fans at our house. I've made several recipes over the years and varieties with M&Ms, oatmeal, and more. This version with peanut butter cups just may be my new favorite!

Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 extra large eggs
2 Tbsp pure vanilla
3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsps baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 oz bag peanut butter and milk chocolate morsels mix
10-12 individually-wrapped Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

In a stand or with electric mixer beat the butter and sugars until well blended.  Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined.  Place flour, baking soda and salt into another large bowl; mix until blended.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Use your muscles to stir! Don't add in the chopped Reece's yet!

Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or baking liners. Using your clean hands, grab small chunks of dough and place on cookie sheet. I prefer to not roll my cookies in perfect balls so they look a little more natural. Place the chopped Reece's chunks on the dough blobs. Top with as much as you like!

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Mine are always perfect right at 13, but I love my cookies to be soft.

These are delicious-o!! Enjoy!
