Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Strawberries or other berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup, pressing the dough down to form a base with a slight wall around the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and, using a small spoon, gently press the center of each cookie cup to create a well. Allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing.
In the meantime, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and heavy cream to the cream cheese, and mix until fully combined and fluffy.
Once the cookie cups are cool, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cup.
Top with fresh berries or garnish of your choice, and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
