- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Scoop small dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces.
- Take 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a frozen cheesecake filling piece in the center. Cover with more dough and seal the edges.
- Place cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-14 minutes, until edges are golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with melted chocolate if desired. Serve warm!
