Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
1 16.5 oz tube sugar cookie dough
6 oz cream cheese
6 oz cool whip
¼ cup of sugar
½ cup cinnamon sugar(optional)
½ tsp Vanilla extract
Cooking Spray
Steps
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Using two cupcake pans, spray both thoroughly with cooking spray.
- Cut the sugar cookie dough into 20 slices. Place them in the cupcake pans pressing the middle down and pressing the sides against the pan.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake for 12 minutes or until the center looks cooked and the sides are starting to brown.
- While the cookies bake, using an electric mixer, mix together the cream cheese and sugar. Then add the vanilla extract. Finally, using a rubber spatula, fold in the cool whip until combined.
- Once the cookies are done, use a shot glass to press down the center to create a gap
- Use a knife to run around the rim of the cookies. If needed, use a spoon to help scoop them out.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes and then scoop a dollop of the cheesecake mixture into the gap. Top with more cinnamon sugar or with your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit.
- Enjoy!
