Mini Cheesecake Cookies
Description
This recipe places a vanilla wafer at the base of each mini muffin cup, then fills each with a cream cheese batter made from room temperature cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Baking at 375°F sets the tops and edges, while maintaining a soft, creamy interior characteristic of cheesecake.
After baking, the mini cheesecakes are cooled and chilled for at least two hours to firm up. They are served with a small amount of cherry pie filling, adding a sweet and fruity contrast to the creamy tartness. The combination of the crisp wafer base and smooth cheesecake topping creates a pleasant textural balance in a convenient, small size.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Ingredients
- 40 vanilla wafers
- 16 ounce cream cheese package, at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two miniature muffin pans with paper liners (you will only need 40, so leave 8 cups empty). Place one Nilla wafer in the bottom of each mini muffin well. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix in the vanilla extract.
- Divide the batter evenly among each cup. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges and top appear set.
- Cool the cheesecakes completely in the pan, then transfer to an airtight container and chill for at least 2 hours. Top with a small amount of cherry pie filling. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The mini cheesecakes should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Chill mini cheesecakes at least two hours before serving to develop texture.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Nutritional information is based on one cookie serving.
