Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with a tablespoon of sugar until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups into the cookie dough.
  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
  • Fill each indentation with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
