Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Set this luscious filling aside.

Mix the Cookie Dough

  • In another bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and add the egg, stirring until the dough comes together. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.

Shape and Bake Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop small balls of dough onto the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

Cool the Cookies

  • Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet to prevent the filling from melting when assembled.

Assemble the Sandwiches

  • Spread a generous tablespoon of the cheesecake filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie, flat side down, gently pressing to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Chill and Serve

  • Place assembled sandwiches in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up filling and meld flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
