Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Cups
- 1 tube (18 oz.) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 4 Tbsp. butter, softened
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2½ cups confectioners’ sugar
Topping
- Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Cookie Dough: Roll about one tablespoon of the cookie dough into a ball using your hands.
- Form Cookie Cups: Place the dough balls into an ungreased mini muffin pan. Press each ball into the bottom and up the sides to create a cup shape.
- Bake: Bake the pressed dough cups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Reshape Cups: Immediately after baking, use the end of a wooden spoon handle to gently press and reshape the center of each cookie cup, creating space for the filling. Allow them to cool in the pan for about five minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Make Filling: In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar until fully incorporated.
- Fill Cups: Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each cookie cup with the cheesecake filling.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle decorative sprinkles over the filled cookie cups as desired.
- Store: Refrigerate the filled cookie cups until ready to serve to keep the filling firm and fresh.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Use ungreased mini muffin pans to help the cookie dough form sturdy cups.
- Press the dough evenly to ensure uniform baking and thickness.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Substitute chocolate chip cookie dough with other flavors if desired for a different twist.
