Cheesecake Cookie Cups

My boys asked me “Mommie, what’s your favorite food besides desserts?”

See, even they know my dessert addiction!

I love to bake desserts and I love to eat desserts!

Good for you, not so good for my skinny jeans!

These Cheesecake Cookie Cups are crunchy on the outside with a wonderful creamy cheesecake filling on the inside. Today I’m giving you a very useful tip on this cookie cup! You can make the cookie part of this with my basic sugar cookie recipe, with a sugar cookie mix, or with a refrigerated tube sugar dough. Your choice! Honestly, they’re all good and it’s strictly depends on how much time you have or want to spend on this dessert!

The cheesecake center is easy too. For the filling you’ll just need three ingredients: cream cheese, sugar and an egg. You’ll use the egg because it binds the cream cheese and sugar together and makes it firm. Otherwise, the filling will be all oozy and runny after they’re cooked.
