MINI CHERRY CHEESECAKE COOKIE CUPS

I don’t know about you, but I think foods are just so much more fun when they are served miniature sized. These mini Cherry Cheesecake Cookie Cups are no exception! The flavors of cherry cheesecake, but served in a sugar cookie cup. It really is soo yummy!

Unlike many of my favorite cheesecake recipes, these mini cheesecake cups are perfect for serving to a crowd. They are easy for guests to grab and eat, and no one can resist them!

I used homemade sugar cookie dough for my crust, but you can use refrigerated cookie dough. Just roll the dough in balls and place in mini muffin pans. Then, make an indentation in each one (I like to use the back of a teaspoon). After you bake them, the center will sink a bit, but I also like to use the spoon again to make the indentation even more pronounced.
