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 🙂
Other Cookie Recipes
Speaking of cookies, don’t forget to try our Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies! You will not regret it! Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies are another must-make cookie recipe!
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 strawberry filling is added. As we said, it’s actually kinda fun to press them in and make the little cup 🙂

Miranda says
As delicious as these are, i do have to say that it was more of a frosting than a cheesecake!
Shreya says
Any tips on freezing them for a party ??
Erin says
Good question, Shreya. I haven’t frozen this recipe before, but I have frozen both chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake, so I would say, bake these and then freeze them and see how it goes. Just make sure you freeze them so that they maintain their shape and won’t get crushed.
T Duke says
This recipe is definitely for the larger cupcake size pans NOT the minis!!!! The mini pan will overflow if you use them. I used regular sized muffin pans and had GREAT success with the quantity of dough.
Eli at Coach Daddy says
Erin, this puppy went into my recipe folder and my Yummly, although I’m not sure what that means. It will be made in my kitchen, although, a less beautiful, yet just as tasty, distant cousin. My baking makes up for in taste what it loses unabashedly in aesthetics.
Erin says
Thanks for the add to your recipe folder and Yummly (whatever that means 🙂 I appreciate you stopping by and checking out the recipe. I’m a huge fan of the cookie cup right now, and these little bites are no exception!
Emily says
Yum!! My mouth is watering right now 🙂 These look so yummy, and I love how versatile they can be! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday this week. I’m sharing this on Pinterest, Twitter & FB.
Erin says
Ahh, thanks, Emily. They are sooo, so good! Who wouldn’t want to gobble these up? I appreciate the shares! Love your party. See you next week!
Dee says
They look and sound amazing, Erin. I’ve been wanting to make cookie cups, and I’ve got to try these! 🙂
Erin says
Thanks, Dee! These were a big hit at my bunco night! The girls loved them. The cookies where the perfect combination of crisp and chewy.
Rosemary says
These look amazing and so delicious. Thanks for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop.
Erin says
They are amazing! I’ve had so many people try this recipe since it was posted and they are raving about it! They’ve filled it with everything from lemon curd to peanut butter…all good choices!
Cristina at I Say Nomato says
These are so darn cute! (I love how you put them with big versions of small things!). I’ve never tried to make a cookie cup before, but you make it look so easy, I’ll have to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing with the Wednesday Showcase!
Erin says
Cookie cups are so easy, Cristina! You should definitely give them a try. Just about any type of cookie will do…but chocolate chip is my favorite! Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
Erin, is there a word that means more than delicious? If so, that’s what these look like! We are definitely going to make these, but this weekend I am using your idea for a dessert I’ve been waiting to try. I have the ingredients for lemon curd, but couldn’t think how I wanted to serve it. Your cookie cups are the perfect idea. I found a GF sugar cookie mix and I’m going to make it per your instructions, then fill with the lemon curd and a few blueberries! Thanks for sharing this, I was stumped. Now I have 2 new desserts to try. Brilliant, just brilliant!
Chellile says
Drooling over here! Love this idea and can’t wait to try it!
Erin says
You have to try it! It’s like cookies and cream in one bite!

They are good…not question about that! Thanks for coming by and I’ll check out the party!
Debbie says
Hi Erin, I really fancy this recipe, but thought I’d need a fancy tin to make the cookie cups. Such a simple idea that I would not have thought to do.
Pinning for future reference.

Erin says
Just a mini cupcake pan will do, Debbie. Nothing fancy…they just look fancy 🙂 Enjoy!
Sandra Garth says
These look like I’ll eat more than I should so I’ll have to workout a little longer and harder!
Erin says
That’s what I have to do…work out a little longer and a little harder. Ha! This one is too good to pass up!
Charlene Asay says
What a fun way to have a cookie. I love this idea. Pinning for later.
Erin says
Thanks for the pin, Charlene! It is a fun way, so much goodness in one bite! You could fill them with chocolate or peanut butter filling and they’d be great too!
Celeste says
These look so delicious, and I’m glad that they are easy too.
Making for the weekend 4th gathering.
Erin says
They’d be perfect for the 4th, Celeste! They make enough for a party and then some 🙂 I just love the flavor combination. Yu. Yum. Yum!
Mary-the boondocks blog says
Lucky us, we’ve got the ingredients at home and are making them right now. They are too cute.
Erin says
Awesome! It’s like cookies and cream in one bite! So, so good! They are great for when you’re entertaining because they are single serve, well, if you eat only one that is 🙂
Mike says
Those look absolutely amazing, Erin! Have a great day! 🙂
Erin says
Thanks, Mike! They look pretty, but are very easy to make! Let me know how they turn out for you if you decide to make them 🙂
