13 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
14 - 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted for drizzling

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until fully blended.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated. Add the softened cream cheese and blend until smooth.
05 - Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, blending until a soft dough forms.
06 - Gently fold in the mini Reese's Pieces, chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each slightly.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
09 - Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool entirely. Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over cooled cookies.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Best enjoyed slightly warm for maximum gooey texture.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
