Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups with Cheesecake Filling

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups with Cheesecake Filling

Who’s a fan of the cookie cup? We DEFINITELY are.

They’re versatile, cute and can be filled with all kinds of deliciousness. Not to mention easy to make! They look hard to pull together, but really it’s not any harder than baking cookies. These Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups with Cheesecake Filling are simply amazing and worth trying if you haven’t made them before.

And don’t even get us started on the cheesecake filling!!

Cheesecake is one of our all-time favorite desserts, after the all-American classic chocolate chip cookie, so mixing the two….wow, just wow!

We could eat just a bowl of cheesecake filling and be happy…well, that may have actually happened, but don’t tell anyone 🙂

Speaking of cookies, don’t forget to try our Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies! You will not regret it!

We like making these when hosting a girl’s night or when asked to bring a dessert for the potluck. They’re like a single-serve dessert that looks fancy, but simple to pull together.

Making the Cookie Cup

Making the actual cookie cup is part of the fun. You put the cookie dough in a mini cupcake pan. Bake. Then, you use your fingers or a spoon to depress the middle once they come out of the oven and have cooled for a little bit.

This is a pic of my amazing Strawberry Lemon Cookie Cups right after their middles have been indented, but before the fully strawberry filling is added. As I said, it’s actually kinda fun to press them in and make the little cup 🙂
