Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

For the Cheesecake Layer:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup sour cream

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter, creamy

For the Topping:

1 cup whipped cream

1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Drizzle of chocolate syrup

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. The dough will be thick.

      Bake the Cookie Base: Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden but not fully cooked—this will create a soft base for the cheesecake layer.

        Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.

          Combine Layers: Once the cookie base has partially baked, remove it from the oven. Pour the cheesecake filling over the top of the slightly underbaked cookie layer and spread evenly.

            Finish Baking: Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the cheesecake layer. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and slightly jiggles in the center.

              Cool and Assemble: Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

                Serving: Before serving, top with whipped cream, chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Cut into squares and enjoy your Ultimate Reese’s Cheesecake Cookie Delight!
