      2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, stir together the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

      3. Combine the wet stuff: In a large mixing bowl, add the sugars, butter, milk, vanilla, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      4. Bring it all together: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until everything’s well mixed.

      5. Add the candy: Stir in those Reese’s Pieces (and sneak a few if you’re anything like me!). Save a handful for decorating.

      6. Scoop and flatten: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet and gently flatten each one.

      7. Bake the cookies: Let the cookies bake while your kitchen fills with the aroma of chocolatey-peanut butter goodness.

      8. Frost and sandwich: After they’ve cooled, spread frosting on the bottom of a cookie and top it with another to make the cookie sandwich.
