Strawberry Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Cups

Make these easy and delicious Sugar Cookie Cheesecake Cups. 

Ingredients

For Cheesecake Mixture

  • 2 8 oz. bars of cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or lemon or other extract
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

For Crust

  • 1 log of sugar cookie dough

For Topping

  • 1 can of strawberry pie filling
  • fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place cupcake liners in a regular cupcake pan.
  • Mix together cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl and set aside.
  • Place 1/4"-1/2" slice of cookie dough into bottom of each liner (may have to manipulate dough a bit to lie down nicely).
  • Bake sugar cookie "crusts" for roughly 10 minutes (they will make the liners look a bit greasy).
  • After crust is done. IMMEDIATELY add about 2 tablespoons of cheesecake mixture in the middle of the crusts and place back in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Check at the 20 minute mark to see if toothpick comes out clean. If not, place back in oven for 5 more minutes. Cheesecakes should be just lightly golden brown on edges when done (don't overcook because the sugar cookie will get hard at the bottom).
  • Let cool and top with pie filling of choice.
