Heavenly Strawberry Cheesecake Bites in Golden Cookie Cups
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberry jam
Fresh strawberries, halved (for topping)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Scoop dough into each muffin cup and press to form a cup shape.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then gently press the centers to maintain the cup shape.
Remove from pan and cool completely.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cookie cup.
Top each with a teaspoon of strawberry jam and a fresh strawberry half.
