These Gooey Reese’s Cheesecake Cookies combine the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the irresistible flavor of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Soft, gooey, and packed with peanut butter and chocolate, these cookies are the ultimate sweet treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended for extra gooeyness)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven & Prep Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until creamy and smooth. Add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in Reese’s & Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate chips (if using) into the cookie dough.
  • Scoop & Bake: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop generous tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft and slightly gooey.
  • Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, use chilled Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to make chopping easier.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • The chocolate chips are optional, but they add extra gooeyness and richness to the cookies.
