Affectionately named, these thick, loaded peanut butter cookies are kind of like kitchen sink cookies, only better. Why? Because they’re packed with Oreo cookies, Reese’s cups, and white chocolate, obviously. These are the cookies you make after a garbage day (or week), because you’ll feel exponentially better off after biting into a warm one fresh from the oven. Pro-tip: Sharing your batch of Garbage Disposal Cookies with a neighbor or friend is guaranteed to make you feel even better.

  • Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg; beat at medium-low speed until incorporated. 

  • Add the flour mixture, beating at medium-low speed until just incorporated. With a rubber spatula, mix in the Oreos, peanut butter cups, and white chocolate chips by hand, scraping the sides of the bowl to incorporate any remaining flour. Cover the bowl and chill the dough 25-30  minutes. 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. 

  • Form the dough into (1.75-ounce) balls, and flatten slightly with your hand. Place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake 12-14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking. Cool on the pan 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire baking rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough until all cookies are baked.   

Chef's Notes

If you prefer, you can swap the peanut butter in this recipe for cashew butter or a different nut butter of your choosing. You can also substitute any chocolatey candy you like for the Reese’s cups.
