Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for maximum gooeyness!
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies.
- Use full-sized Reese’s cups chopped into chunks for bigger chocolate-peanut butter pockets.
- Microwave leftover cookies for 10 seconds to make them gooey again.
- For holiday flair, drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkles.
- Double the batch—they disappear fast!
