Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cookie Base:

      - In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.

        - Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

          - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

            - Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

              Spread the Cookie Dough:

                - Press about 2/3 of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Set the remaining dough aside.

                  Make the Cheesecake Layer:

                    - In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.

                      - Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, beating until well blended.

                        - Stir in the chunky peanut butter until fully integrated.

                          Assemble the Cheesecake:

                            - Pour the cheesecake layer evenly over the cookie base in the baking dish.

                              - Crumble the reserved cookie dough evenly over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle the additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top.

                                Bake:

                                  - Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are slightly golden.

                                    Cool:

                                      - Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for about 1 hour at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set fully.

                                        Serve:

                                          - Once cooled, cut into squares, and serve chilled. Optionally, top with whipped cream and mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for an extra touch!
