  • ½ teaspoon baking powder 🧁
  • ½ teaspoon salt 🧂

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 🍚
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed 🍯
  • 1 large egg 🥚
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀

Mix-ins:

  • 1 cup mini Reese’s Pieces 🍬
  • ½ cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped 🍫
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips 🍫

For Drizzling:

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted 🍫

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2️⃣ Whisk the Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3️⃣ Cream the Butter and Sugars

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4️⃣ Add the Egg, Vanilla, and Cream Cheese

  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth.

5️⃣ Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually mix in the dry ingredients just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

6️⃣ Fold in the Mix-ins

  • Gently fold in the mini Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

7️⃣ Scoop and Bake

  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, place them on the baking sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.

8️⃣ Cool and Drizzle

  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate once cooled.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months for longer storage.
  • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth, creamy texture in the cookie dough.
