Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. For the cheesecake filling, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least an hour.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces.
  5. Take about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, place one frozen cheesecake filling in the center, cover with more dough, and seal edges well.
  6. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 12-14 minutes until golden around edges but soft in the middle.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
