Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F and grab a baking sheet for your upcoming cookie adventure.
- Whip the 1 cup softened butter with 1 cup brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar until the mixture turns creamy and smooth.

- Separately mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with ½ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon salt in a clean bowl.
- Gently incorporate the dry ingredients into your butter mixture, stirring until a consistent dough forms.
- Carefully fold 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped Reeses peanut butter cups into your cookie dough.
- Take 8 oz softened cream cheese and beat it in a separate bowl until completely silky.
- Scoop rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place a small dollop of cream cheese on the center of each cookie dough mound.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 350°F oven and bake for exactly 11 minutes, watching for golden edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before serving your delectable treat.
Notes
- Cream cheese must be room temperature for smooth, lump-free incorporation into the cookie dough.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure easy cookie removal.
- Chop Reeses into smaller pieces for even distribution throughout the cookie, giving each bite balanced flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help cookies maintain their shape and prevent excessive spreading.
