Time 1h10m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup white sugar
⅔ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces®)
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat white sugar and 2/3 cup softened butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; mix in 1/3 cup milk, egg, and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Stir flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into creamed butter mixture until dough is just combined; fold in 1 cup candy-coated peanut butter pieces. Drop dough, 1 to 2 tablespoons per cookie, onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on pans for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Beat 3 tablespoons melted butter and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until frosting is fluffy and smooth. Frost cookies and decorate with more candy-coated peanut butter pieces.

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were dry and crumbly, and the orange flavor was overpowering.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cookies, but these were really good. The orange flavor really balanced out the chocolate. I'll definitely be making these again.
