Irresistible Reese’s Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ cup Reese’s peanut butter chips
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped mini Reese’s peanut butter cups.
In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Roll a tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, and place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Top with another tablespoon of dough, encasing the cream cheese filling, and seal the edges.
Place the filled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, melt the Reese’s peanut butter chips and semisweet chocolate chips in separate bowls.
Drizzle the melted peanut butter and chocolate over the cooled cookies.
