2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, using mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until smooth and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract and combine until mixed. Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet mixture mixing well after each addition.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Spread 2/3 of the cookie dough in the bottom of the 8-inch square (or circular) baking dish. Add one group of the chopped Reese's cups on top of cookie dough.
5. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough/Reese's cup layer. Using your fingers, crumble the remaining dough over the top of the cream cheese layer. Add the other half of the Reese's cups, chopped and sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until it is lightly browned on top and the cream cheese layer is set. Cool on a wire rack, and store in refrigerator. |
