Strawberry Cheesecake Cups (Printable Version)

Creamy cheesecake in buttery cookie forms with a sweet strawberry twist, made to impress and satisfy.

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Shells

01 - 1 package (16.5 oz) premade sugar cookie dough or your own homemade dough

→ Creamy Filling

02 - 8 oz cream cheese, brought to room temperature
03 - 1/4 cup white sugar
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla

→ Topping & Decoration

05 - 1/3 cup strawberry jam, warmed just a little
06 - Fresh berries or chocolate sprinkles (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin pan with 12 spots. Split the cookie dough into a dozen pieces. Flatten each one into the muffin tins and press up along the sides. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown.
02 - Right after baking, press the centers down gently with a spoon to create little wells. Let them sit for 10 minutes in the pan before moving them from the pan to a wire rack.
03 - Blend softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until you’ve got a smooth mixture.
04 - Spoon or pipe the creamy filling into each of the cooled cookie cups. Drizzle on some warm jam and swirl it around with a toothpick. Pop them in the fridge for an hour so they firm up.
05 - Before serving, top with fresh strawberry slices or a sprinkle of chocolate.
