Chocolate Chip Cookie Mini Cheesecakes
- 16 ounces neufchatel cheese, softened
- 8 ounces vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 14 cup cornstarch
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 16 ounces pre-made refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (I used Pillsbury Ready to Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie)
- 12 cup mini chocolate chip
- 1.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a standard size 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- This makes 24 so if you have two 12-count muffin tins go ahead and prep a second pan as well.
- Otherwise, you can make 2 batches.
- 2.
- Prepare cheesecake: In a large bowl, add cream cheese, Greek yogurt and sugar.
- With an electric mixer, beat at medium speed until there are no lumps of the cream cheese left, about 2 minutes.
- Add cornstarch, eggs and vanilla.
- Slowly mix together on low until all ingredients are evenly distributed, about 1 minute.
- 3.
- Take the cookie dough out of the fridge.
- Break off 12 individual cookie pieces.
- Place one cookie in each tin (youll use more of the dough later so set it aside).
- With your fingers, press down on the dough until its evenly distributed and completely covers the bottom of each tin.
- With a spoon, add cheesecake mixture into each muffin cup to about 3/4 full (youll use the rest of the batter in the second batch so set it aside).
- Evenly sprinkle half of the chocolate chips on top of cheesecakes.
- 4.
- Place in the oven and cook on middle rack for 30 minutes or until edges become golden brown, rotating halfway through.
- Remove from oven.
- Let the cakes sit for at least 10 minutes before running a sharp knife around the edges and removing them from the pan.
- Wash and dry your muffin tin and repeat with the other half of the cookie dough, batter and chocolate chips.
- 5.
- Once completely cool, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Enjoy!
