Ingredients
- For the Cookie Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup butter, room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with foil cupcake liners.
- For the cookie dough: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, ½ cup sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture, ½ cup at a time, while mixing. Scrape down the sides as needed until fully incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press about a flat tablespoon of cookie dough into the bottom of each cupcake liner. You should have about 1 ½ cups of cookie dough remaining. Set aside.
- For the cheesecake filling: In the same bowl used for the cookie dough, beat the cream cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 1 cup sugar, eggs, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
- Scoop a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture into each cupcake liner, on top of the cookie dough.
- Break up the remaining cookie dough into little pieces and place them on top of each cheesecake cup.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
- Place the cheesecake cups in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- These cheesecake cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- If you want extra chocolate flavor, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the top before serving.
- For a softer crust, reduce the amount of cookie dough pressed into the liners.
