Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups
Yesterday was a crazy travel day! Iโm in Salt Lake City for the Build Your Blog Conference hosted by the sisters of Six Sisterโs Stuff this weekend and I couldnโt be more excited! Getting here was not easy though! I had a flight delayed, which was going to make me miss my connection. So I changed flights and decided to go through Philadelphia rather than Houston, TX. I figured if I was potentially going to get stranded somewhere, Philly would be best since my mom just happens to be working there this week.
I ended up with a canceled flight, then a new flight, which was then delayed, so my mom came to the airport and we had martinis while I waited. Best flight delay ever! ๐
This Cookie Cups Recipe Is Perfect For Valentineโs Day
And now that Iโm in SLC I canโt wait for today to get going! Itโs my first in-person blog conference and I canโt wait to meet so many of my favorite bloggers and soak it all in.
If you want to follow everything as itโs going on this weekend, be sure to follow me on instagram and/or twitter. I already posted a picture of my fabulous mom and I having martinis. #bestmomever
I meant to get this post up and ready to go before I left, but this week has just been crazy. But I couldnโt wait until next week to post this recipe! Itโs so tasty and with Valentineโs Day right around the corner, these cookie cups are perfect! Plus, I have a couple friends waiting for the recipe. These are that good.
I actually made these last week and took them to our small group Super Bowl party โ because every football party needs pretty, pink cookies. Duh.
Despite their pink, non-manly color, everyone loved them. They didnโt last until half time and a number of the girls from group are already planning on making them themselves. Thatโs what you call a slam dunk! At least as far as a recipe goes.
Boxed Cake Mix Makes These Cookies So Easy To Make
One of the great things about these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups is how nice and easy they are to make. They start with a strawberry cake mix โ the ultimate in easy.
These Cookie Cups Combine Two Of My Favorite Childhood Flavors
Growing up, my second favorite box cake behind funfetti was strawberry. I always paired it with cream cheese icing โ yummy! That childhood fave inspired these cups, but instead of stopping at cream cheese icing, I went with an incredibly easy and delicious no-bake cheesecake filling.
What Do Strawberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups Taste Like?
The cookies are moist and chewy and are perfectly balanced by the cheesecake. The cheesecake is just sweet enough and doesnโt overwhelm the cookie. You get the perfect amount of strawberry cookie and cheesecake in each bite!
The only thing to be careful of when making these is how much dough you put into each mini muffin. You only want to fill them about 3/4 full. Any more than that and they will overflow when baked.
Once theyโre baked and cooled, you can spoon in, or pipe, the cheesecake filling. I put a little graham crackers crumbs and sprinkles on top, but of course thatโs optional.
These cookie cups may be simple but donโt let that fool you โ they are awesome! Happy baking!

Tastes great, but I havenโt been able to make it work either. They rise up, then collapseโฆ Iโve gotten wonderful chewy bottoms, but only when sides were crispy.. they arenโt cooked in 9-11โฆwhat am I doing wrong?
Iโm not sure. Itโs been a very long time since I made these. Iโd have to try them out again and see. I donโt remember having an issue though.
These mini strawberry cheesecake cookies look pretty in the picture but this recipe is terrible. Great idea though.
These look so delicious and I just wanted to know if the cream cheese and butter should be softened or room temperature
Yes, they should be room temperature.
