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. Mix in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt; combine with wet ingredients. Chill dough for 1 hour.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth; mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. Shape and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Flatten tablespoon-sized portions of dough into disks, add cheesecake filling in center, fold edges over to seal, and bake on parchment-lined sheets for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  4. Add Finishing Touches: Let cookies cool slightly before drizzling with melted white chocolate and sprinkling with chopped peanut butter cups.
