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 Reese's peanut butter cups (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually mix into the wet ingredients. Chill the dough for about an hour.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, one egg, and vanilla extract; mix until creamy.
  3. Shape Your Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough, flatten it, place cheesecake filling in the center, fold edges over the filling, and roll into balls.
  4. Bake: Space cookie balls on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cooling before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Finish with Toppings: Melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over cooled cookies; sprinkle with chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
