Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake INGREDIENTS
- Paper liners (baking cups)
- Standard cupcake pan
- 1 package (16 ounces) chocolate chip cookie dough
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
SUBSTITUTIONS OR ADDITIONS (TIPS)
Want bars instead of individual cups? Bake the cookie dough in a pan according to package directions and spread the cheesecake filling over the baked cookie to make cheesecake bars.
If you don’t have canned pie filling, top the cheesecakes with fresh berries, a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce, or a spoonful of jam. You can also fold mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake batter for extra texture—chocolate on chocolate is always welcome.
HOW TO MAKE the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheese Cakes
- Preheat oven to 325° F (163° C).
- Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
- If your cookie dough package contains 12 large pieces, cut each piece in half so you have 24 pieces; if it already has 24, you’re set.
- Place one piece of dough in each lined muffin cup so it forms a cup shape.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cookie has spread to the edge of the liner.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over each cookie cup. Using a cookie scoop helps keep this step neat.
- Bake for an additional 15–18 minutes, or until the cheesecake portion is set.
- Cool the pan completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully chill and set the filling.
- Top each cheesecake with a level tablespoon of cherry pie filling or your chosen topping just before serving.
Serving and Storage
To serve, remove the paper liners and add the pie filling or fresh fruit on top. Keep the cheesecakes refrigerated until just before serving, since they contain cream cheese. For a finishing touch, pipe or dollop a small amount of whipped cream on each one.
