Cheesecake Cookie Cups are bite-sized desserts made with a chewy sugar cookie base and a rich, creamy cheesecake filling. These handheld treats are perfect for parties, holidays, or whenever you’re craving cheesecake in a fun, portion-controlled form.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16.5 oz) roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough (or equivalent homemade dough)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, chocolate drizzle, caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan.
  2. Scoop cookie dough into each cavity, pressing gently to form a cup shape.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. Remove from oven and immediately press the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon to form wells. Let cool completely.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each cooled cookie cup.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set.
  8. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  9. Top with fruit, chocolate, or caramel if desired before serving.

Notes

Use mini cupcake liners or grease pan well to prevent sticking.Full-fat cream cheese yields the best flavor and texture.Try different cookie doughs like chocolate chip, peanut butter, or snickerdoodle.Add fruit preserves or pie filling before chilling for a fruity layer.Best served cold; no reheating needed.
