Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 16 ounces refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (12 sections)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips (divided)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Mini Chips Ahoy cookies
Instructions
- Fill 12 muffin tins with parchment wrappers.
- Press 1 section of the cookie dough into the bottom of each muffin cup.
- Bake for 12 minutes, until the cookie dough is lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and mix by hand until combined.
- Fold in ½ cup of the mini chocolate chips.
- Divide the cheesecake mixture over the baked cookie “crusts” in each muffin tin.
- Turn the oven temperature down to 325°F. Bake an additional 18 minutes until the cheesecake is just set.
- Cool the cheesecakes on the countertop for 30 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator and chill them for at least 2 hours to become firm.
- Just before serving, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form but before the whipping cream turns to butter.
- Pipe or mound the cookie dough cheesecakes with whipped cream. Crush a handful of the Mini Chips Ahoy cookies and sprinkle them over the cheesecakes. Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips over the cheesecakes and top each with a whole mini cookie.
