Ingredients
- 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
- 4 oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation
Step 1
1 Heat oven to 350°. Spray 12 miniature muffin cups with cooking spray. Place 1 cookie dough round in each muffin cup.
2 Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Press end of wooden spoon handle into center of each cookie cup to make 1-inch-wide indentation. Cool completely in pan, about 20 minutes.
3 In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating after each addition.
4 Carefully remove cookie cups from pan. Spoon cheesecake filling into center of each cup. Top with chocolate chips. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve cold.
