- Total Time: 32 minutes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
Add-ins:
- 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces
- ½ cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
For Drizzling:
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3️⃣ Cream the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
4️⃣ Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5️⃣ Add the Mix-ins
Gently fold in the mini Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and white chocolate chips.
6️⃣ Shape the Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, slightly flattening each one.
7️⃣ Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8️⃣ Drizzle with Chocolate
Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top for that extra touch of chocolatey goodness.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: For a thicker cookie with a chewier texture, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer freshness.
- Substitutions: Feel free to use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
