Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16.5 oz) pre-made or homemade sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, chocolate chips, or caramel sauce (as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin by greasing each cavity thoroughly and heating the oven to 350F (175C).
- Gently press a measured portion of cookie dough into the bottom of each muffin cup, creating a compact base layer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully distribute the cheesecake filling over each cookie dough foundation, ensuring even coverage.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a set texture with minimal wobbling in the center.
- Remove from oven and allow the cheesecake cookie cups to cool completely at room temperature, which helps them firm up and retain their shape.
- Enhance the dessert with optional decorative toppings like fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- Opt for store-bought or homemade cookie dough for a personalized touch, ensuring the base is evenly pressed and covers the bottom of each muffin cup.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and egg to create a smoother, lump-free cheesecake filling that blends seamlessly.
- Prevent overbaking by checking the cheesecake cups at the 12-minute mark; they should be slightly jiggly in the center but set around the edges.
- Try different cookie dough flavors like chocolate chip, peanut butter, or sugar cookie to create unique variations of this dessert.
