Description
Delightful cookie cups filled with a creamy cream cheese filling, perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin to ensure that the cookie cups release easily once they’ve baked.
- Take about a tablespoon of cookie dough and press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup, leaving enough space in the center for that luscious cream cheese filling.
- Bake the cookie cups for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
- While the cookie cups are cooling down, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookie cups have cooled, fill them generously with the cream cheese mixture.
- Optionally, sprinkle some chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles on top to add a little extra flair!
- Chill the cookie cups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
Notes
Store cookie cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months after cooling completely.
