Ingredients

  • 2 packages Sugar Cookie Dough 24-count each
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease two muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge now so it can soften.
  3. Open the cookie package and combine two cookie dough pieces to form one larger disk.
  4. Place the disk in one cup of the muffin pan. Continue until all the cups are filled.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to brown.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool completely in the pan. After a few minutes of cooling, the cookies should deflate and form a cup shape. If they don't, press the back of a tablespoon into each cookie to create a cup.
  7. Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack when they are mostly cool.
  8. Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating together the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  10. Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a large piping bag and pipe it into each cookie cup.
  11. Store the cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set, then top with cherry pie filling before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the filling, beat until it is just combined.
  • Keep a close eye on your cookie cups in the oven, and take them out as soon as the edges start to turn golden brown. The centers may look a bit underbaked, but that's okay – they'll continue to cook and firm up as they cool.
  • Chill the filled cups in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  • While cherry pie filling is a classic choice, try different toppings on your cookie cups. Strawberry or blueberry pie filling would be equally delicious, or you could even try a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for a decadent twist.
  • You can easily fill your cookie cups using a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off or just a spoon. 
  • You could definitely experiment with other cookie dough  flavors like chocolate chip or peanut butter. Just keep in mind that the baking time may vary slightly depending on the type of dough you use.
