Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1/2 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (about 6-8 pieces)
Optional: extra Reese’s pieces for topping
Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add in the peanut butter and mix until fully combined.
