Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package sugar cookie dough refrigerated
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Reese's peanut butter cups chopped
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce for drizzle

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet For cookies
  • 1 Hand mixer For creamy filling
  • 1 Wire rack For cooling

Method
 

  1. Bake large sugar cookies according to package directions and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Whisk softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  3. Spread a thick, even layer of the cheesecake mixture over the center of each cooled cookie.
  4. Press a generous amount of chopped peanut butter cups into the cream cheese to cover it.
  5. Drizzle with caramel and chill in the refrigerator for ten minutes to allow the layers to set.

Notes

Ensure cookies are completely cooled before topping. Use brick-style cream cheese for a stable cheesecake layer that won't run.
