These Reese’s cheesecake cookies combine the creamy tang of cheesecake with the chocolatey-peanut butter goodness of Reese’s for an irresistible treat that’s easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
  • Optional: Reese’s pieces or mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.
  5. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft—that’s okay!
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra gooey cookies, press a few extra Reese’s pieces on top right after baking. Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too soft.
