Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F, and line 4 cups in a muffin pan with paper liners.

Drop a cookie in each liner, with the flat side down.

In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat very well until combined.

Divide the mixture between the cups and bake for 15 minutes.

Let cakes cool, then refrigerate at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, stir together the sour cream and brown sugar and pour on top of each cake.
