Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1 large egg (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped Reese's peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt before gradually combining with the wet ingredients. Chill the dough for about an hour.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. Forming Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take chilled cookie dough, flatten it into disks, spoon cheesecake filling into the center, fold edges over to seal, and roll into balls. Place on baking sheet spaced apart.
  4. Baking: Bake for about 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Finishing Touches: Melt white chocolate chips in intervals until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and sprinkle with chopped Reese's cups.
