Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor and Decoration Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to create a uniform dry mixture.
- Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until the mixture becomes airy and pale.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly. Add softened cream cheese and mix until silky smooth.
- Gradually integrate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to maintain cookie texture.
- Delicately fold mini Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and white chocolate chips throughout the dough.
- Portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet using a 2-tablespoon scoop, gently pressing each mound to slightly flatten.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown. Rest cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Embellish cooled cookies with a luxurious drizzle of melted semi-sweet chocolate for a decadent finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for smoother, easier mixing and better cookie texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain a thicker cookie shape.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking without burning.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar consistency.
