Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz light cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup chopped mini peanut butter cups (or Reese’s pieces)
• Optional: ¼ cup mini chocolate chips for extra richness

Instructions

1. Cream Butter & Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add sugars and continue mixing until fluffy.

2. Add Wet Ingredients
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.

4. Fold in the Good Stuff
Gently fold in chopped peanut butter cups (and chocolate chips if using). Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.

5. Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers are soft.

6. Cool & Serve
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.

Tips for Success

• Don’t Overbake: The centers should be slightly underdone for a soft, chewy finish.
• Chill the Dough: Helps prevent spreading and keeps the cookies thick.
• Mix It Up: Try using different peanut butter candies or drizzle with melted chocolate for a decadent touch.
• Serve Warm: These cookies taste best fresh from the oven or gently reheated.
