Cheesecake Stuffed Reese Puff Cookie

Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe this handheld peanut butter covered dessert!

You can also use normal Reese Puff cereal on top as a whole or crush them up and sprinkle them on top…whatever your heart desires!

HELPFUL HINT:
If you have a large cookie scoop, scoop up your cookie dough and make an indent in the center with your thumb, fill it with the cheesecake filling and add a little bit of cookie dough on top to seal it all up, then place it on the cookie sheet!
