How to make Cheesecake Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
Ingredients:
– 1 package (16 oz) chocolate chip cookie dough
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 egg
– Mini chocolate chips for garnishing (optional)
Directions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). To prevent sticking, lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Section the cookie dough into 12 even pieces.
3. Create a small cup shape by pressing each piece into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin tin cups.
4. Blend the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Scoop the cheesecake mixture into each cookie cup, ensuring that it’s filled just below the rim.
6. Sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips atop each cup for an additional layer of chocolate, if desired.
7. Bake in the oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden brown and the cheesecake filling is solid.
8. Allow the cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack. Here, they can cool fully.
