Cheesecake Cookie Cups (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Cups

01 - 1 tsp baking soda
02 - 260g plain flour
03 - 168g unsalted butter, softened
04 - 2 tsp cornstarch
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 1/4 tsp salt
07 - 207g granulated sugar
08 - 2 tsp vanilla flavoring

→ Cheesecake Filling and Topping

09 - 340g softened cream cheese
10 - 1 1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring
11 - 201g icing sugar
12 - Fresh fruit, chopped into small pieces

# Instructions:

01 - Coat a cupcake pan with non-stick spray. Set the oven to 175°C (350°F) and let it preheat.
02 - Grab a medium bowl and put in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Stir and set aside.
03 - Put softened butter and sugar in a big mixing bowl. Whip them together on high until the mix looks pale and fluffy—about 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Blend the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture until it's smooth and combined.
05 - Add your dry mixture into the wet mixture and blend everything until it forms a thick dough. Don't overdo the mixing.
06 - Roll out about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cup. Press the dough into the bottom and partially up the sides of the cupcake wells to create a hollow center.
07 - Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes. Pull them out when the edges are just starting to turn golden.
08 - Let the cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer them to a cooling rack. If the centers aren't deep enough, press them gently with a spoon handle while still warm.
09 - In a big bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is silky and smooth.
10 - Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mix into your cooled cookie cups. Top with pieces of fresh fruit. Store in a sealed container in the fridge and aim to eat them within 3-4 days.

# Notes:

01 - Keep them in a sealed container in the fridge and try to finish them within 3-4 days.
