Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Tarts
You will fall in love with these cute little edible bowls filled with a strawberry cheesecake-like cream and topped with an adorable chocolate/strawberry swirl candy heart!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sugar cookie dough (or use your favorite sugar cookie recipe) (1 package)
- 8 ounces strawberry cream cheese (1 container)
- 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips (1 package)
- red and white sprinkles and/or chocolate/strawberry swirl hearts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick baking spray.
- Divide cookie dough into 12 portions. Press each portion into a muffin cup, flattening it on the bottom and about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the cup.
- Bake for about 14-15 minutes until golden brown on the edges. Do not under-bake, or the cups will not stay together when you remove them from the muffin tin.
- Meanwhile, place the cream cheese in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer on high for about a minute. Add the strawberry extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave on 50% power. Start with 1 minute, then stir, then microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds at a time until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the white chocolate to the cream cheese and mix until combined.
- When the cookie cups are completely cooled, carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
- Spoon in the cream cheese mixture, garnish with sprinkles and a chocolate heart and serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

These little biscuit cups have endless possibilities. These are so pretty for Valentines! I used to make them and coat the inside for chocolate. Then pour a little milk inside for the children as a snack. xx
