Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. old-fashioned oats
  • 1 c. Reese's Pieces plus more for pushing into the tops
  • 3/4 c. cashews chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahnreheit. Lightly grease cookie sheets or line them with nonstick baking mats.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together softened butter, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar and white sugar. Scrape down the sides in between.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and old fashioned oats. Add flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix just until incorporated, scraping down the sides with a spatula in between.
  • Stir in Reese's Pieces and chopped cashews.
  • Scoop or form dough into 1 1/2" balls and place at least 2" apart on the cookie sheet. If you want a flatter cookie, press the dough balls slightly down with the palm of your hand before baking. If you want a taller cookie with more dimension, leave the dough balls as is and bake.
  • Bake for approximately 8-9 minutes. Just after removing them from the oven, press additional Reese's Pieces into the tops of the cookies, if desired. Allow cookies to cool on pans for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
