# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract then mix until combined.
03 - Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, corn starch, and salt, and mix just until the flour mixture disappears. Gently fold in the roughly chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
04 - Using a large cookie scooper, portion out 9 equally sized cookie dough balls, roll them between the palms of your hands, then gently flatten them to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thickness. Freeze the cookie dough discs for 15 minutes.
05 - Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes.
06 - Melt the peanut butter chips with the oil in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.
07 - Generously top each hot cookie with the melted peanut butter chips, spread it evenly, then top with the chopped Reese's cups. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
