Instructions
- Prepare for Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the Mix-ins:
- Gently fold in the mini Reese’s Pieces, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and white chocolate chips.
- Shape and Bake:
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 tablespoons per cookie. Slightly flatten each cookie with your hand or a spatula.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Drizzle:
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle the cooled cookies with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dough.
- For an extra gooey texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
