These delightful Gingerbread Cheesecake Bite gems have the perfect holiday flavors we all crave for!

Ingredients

• 1 (30 ounce) package Pillsbury Gingerbread Cookie Dough
• 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Begin with a 30 ounce roll of Pillsbury Gingerbread Cookie Dough (found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store).

Roll 2 teaspoons of Gingerbread Dough into balls and place them into a mini cupcake/muffin pan with paper liners.

Make a well or indentation in each ball to fill the cookies.

Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla to create the cream cheese filling. Place filling into a piping bag, cut off the edge and fill each with a teaspoon or so of cheesecake mixture.

Do not over fill the dough, when the cookie bakes it will rise. Bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 9 minutes, or until the cookie part comes out with a nearly clean toothpick, they will continue to bake a bit when the pan is out of the oven cooling down.
