Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.

  8. In a new bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  9. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
  10. Spoon the cheesecake filling over each cookie base, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  11. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until centers are set and edges are lightly golden.
  12. Let cookie cups cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  13. Top with desired toppings just before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat block-style cream cheese for best texture.Chill thoroughly before serving for the creamiest consistency.Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for 2 months.Customize with different cookie dough bases like sugar or peanut butter.Do not add fresh toppings before baking as they may break down during cooking.
