Ingredients

For the Cookie Cup:

• 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup (200g) brown sugar

• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/4 tsp salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

• 1/4 cup (60g) granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Swirl:

• 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves

• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

️ Instructions

1. Preheat and prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with cupcake wrappers.

2. Make the cookie dough

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

3. Form the cookie cups

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides to form a well in the center.

4. Prepare the cheesecake filling

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

5. Assemble

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake mixture into each cookie cup. Swirl 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam into the top of each using a toothpick or skewer.

6. Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden and the cheesecake is set.

7. Cool and chill

Let the cookie cups cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smoother filling.

• Substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or blueberry for variation.

• Drizzle with melted white chocolate for extra flair.
