8-10regular size Reeses Peanut Butter Cupscubed (I cut them in thirds, then thirds again)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place banana and both sugars into a large mixing bowl, mix until well combined. Mix in egg, vanilla and peanut butter mixing until well combined.
Place flour baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Slowly stir into the wet ingredients until JUST combined, then add chocolate chips and the Reeses Cups. Don’t over mix this.
Scoop cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop, roll into sugar and place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand, gently press down cookies so they are about ½ inch thick, they don’t spread much. Or you can leave them scooped for a thick more puffed cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked but still soft. Let cool for 3 minutes on hot cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
