Method
step1: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
step2: Scoop the cream cheese into small teaspoon-sized dollops and place them in the freezer to firm while you prepare the cookie dough.
step3: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy.
step4: Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix again until fully combined.
step5: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
step6: Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently just until the dough forms — do not overmix.
step7: Fold in the Reese’s peanut butter chips and mini chocolate chips.
step8: Scoop dough into balls and flatten each one slightly.
step9: Place one frozen cream cheese dollop inside each dough portion and wrap the dough around it to seal completely.
step10: Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with chopped Reese’s if desired.
step11: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
step12: Bake for 9–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look soft and slightly puffy.
step13: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Serve warm for maximum gooeyness.
