It\u2019ll give you so much time that you have the time to think that.<\/p>\n<p>The name Reese\u2019s brings excitement when printed on a package. Go post a photo of something with Reese\u2019s on Instagram or Facebook, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be one of your most liked photos. But this cookie dough is not something to get super excited about.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I\u2019ve had a shedload of Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups in my lifetime and I\u2019ve had a bucketload of homemade and store bought peanut butter cookies during the decades I\u2019ve been on this planet, so I\u2019m disappointed these taste more like your run-of-the-mill peanut butter cookies than anything that reminds me of the iconic candy I\u2019d steal from a baby.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Pillsbury-Reeses-Peanut-Butter-Cookies-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pillsbury Reese s Peanut Butter Cookies 2\" title=\"Pillsbury Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The peanut butter in a Reese\u2019s PBC has a distinct nutty flavor that I don\u2019t detect with these.
