Gooey Reeses Cheesecake Cookies
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups (340 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups (240 grams) chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Sweeteners and Binding Agents:
- 1 cup (220 grams) packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finishing and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) melted chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (43 grams) melted white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment at 350°F and arrange a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticky aftermath.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes light and aerated, creating a foundation for tender cookies.
- Incorporate eggs individually, blending thoroughly after each addition, then introduce vanilla extract to enhance the aromatic profile.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually integrate into the butter mixture, stirring until ingredients are just unified without overmixing.
- Delicately fold chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor in every morsel.
- Portion dough into tablespoon-sized rounds, positioning them two inches apart on the prepared sheet, then bake for 10-12 minutes until edges transform to a gentle golden hue.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before embellishing with alternating drizzles of milk chocolate and white chocolate, permitting the decorative layers to solidify before serving.
Notes
- Softening butter is crucial for achieving that perfect creamy texture, so let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and creates a more compact, chewier cookie.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to accommodate dietary restrictions.
