Description

strawberry cheesecake cookie cups are the perfect combination of a soft, buttery cookie with a creamy, sweet cheesecake filling. Topped with fresh strawberries and a hint of graham cracker crunch, these irresistible treats are perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Cups:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberry preserves

For Garnish:

  • Fresh strawberry slices
  • Crushed graham crackers or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Form the Cookie Cups: Grease a mini muffin tin. Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and press them into each muffin cup to form a shallow well in the center.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and use a spoon to reshape the wells if needed. Allow the cookie cups to cool completely in the pan before removing them.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the strawberry preserves for a swirled effect.
  • Fill the Cookie Cups: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cooled cookie cup.
  • Garnish and Serve: Top each cookie cup with a fresh strawberry slice and optional crushed graham crackers or sprinkles. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the filling set.

Notes

  • You can use any fruit preserves for a different flavor if you prefer.
  • These cookie cups can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For extra crunch, add finely crushed graham crackers on top as garnish.
