Description
Delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups that combine tender cookie cups with creamy cheesecake filling and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, enveloping the mixture with delightful aromas.
- Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually blend this dry mixture into the creamed mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into balls and place them in greased muffin tins. Press the centers gently down to form cups.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookie cups cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth in a separate bowl. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy and luscious.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries and whipped cream, creating a strawberry-filled medley.
- Fill the cooled cookie cups with the creamy cheesecake mixture, and chill them in the fridge before serving.
Notes
For a delightful variation, try chocolate drizzle or lemon zest for extra flavor.
