Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and pudding, set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add vanilla extract and honey and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, beat to combine. Add chocolate chips, Reese's pieces and peanut butter chips and mix until well incorporated.
4. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a 1½ inch ball between your palms and then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing balls about 2 inches apart, fitting 12 cookies on each sheet. Flatten dough balls until they are about ¾ inch thick.
5. Bake 10 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
