Instructions
Step1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of ingredients.
Step3: Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step helps create a soft and chewy cookie texture.
Step4: Add Egg, Vanilla & Cream Cheese
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mix until the dough is smooth and creamy.
Step5: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Step6: Fold in Reese’s Goodness
Gently fold in mini Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and white chocolate chips for maximum peanut butter flavor.
Step7: Scoop & Bake
- Use a cookie scoop to drop 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the lined baking sheet.
- Slightly flatten each dough ball to help it spread evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Step8: Cool & Drizzle with Chocolate
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate for the perfect finishing touch!
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest dough.
Chill the dough for 20 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
Don’t overbake! These cookies will continue to set as they cool.
