Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 2 cups chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then add in the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix in Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to form the cookie dough.
- Incorporate Reese’s and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and mini chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added to avoid tough cookies.
- For extra gooeyness, slightly underbake the cookies by a minute or two.
- Use room temperature butter and cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
- If desired, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help cookies retain their shape.
