Delight in these irresistible Cheesecake Cookie Cups featuring a crispy chocolate chip cookie crust filled with creamy vanilla cheesecake filling. Perfect as a bite-sized dessert for any occasion, these easy-to-make treats combine the best of both cookies and cheesecake into one delicious snack.

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

  1. Form Cookie Cups: Roll about one tablespoon of the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough into a ball. Place each ball into an ungreased mini muffin pan, then press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup to form a cup shape. Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  2. Reshape Centers: Immediately after baking, use the end of a wooden spoon handle to gently press and reshape the center of each cookie cup to ensure ample space for the filling. Let them cool in the pan for about five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  3. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, continuing to mix until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Fill Cookie Cups: Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag for a neat finish, or use a spoon if preferred. Pipe or spoon the filling evenly into each cooled cookie cup.
  5. Add Toppings: Decorate the filled cheesecake cookie cups with sprinkles as desired to add color and a fun touch.
  6. Chill and Store: Refrigerate the cheesecake cookie cups to allow the filling to set and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for best freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure cookie cups are completely cooled before adding the cream cheese filling to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute sprinkles with mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts for variety.
  • These cups can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated until serving.
  • For easier piping, soften the cream cheese and butter to room temperature before mixing.
