Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and cream cheese into the sugar mixture until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the mini Reese’s Pieces and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  7. Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
  9. Remove cookies from the oven, cool slightly, and then drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
