Imagine the crispy sweetness of a chocolate chip cookie meeting the creamy dreaminess of classic cheesecake—all in a personal-sized dessert. These Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecakes are indulgent, adorable, and downright delicious.

This recipe is made for dessert lovers. For cookie fans. For cheesecake dreamers. And especially for anyone who knows that dessert isn’t just a treat—it’s a love language.

🏛️ A Sweet Slice of History

Cheesecake has roots as far back as ancient Greece, where athletes were served early versions of it at the Olympic Games. Over centuries, it evolved into the creamy, rich dessert we know today. On the other hand, chocolate chip cookies were a delicious American accident—created by Ruth Wakefield in the 1930s at the Toll House Inn.

Bringing the two together—cheesecake and cookies—represents a modern celebration of texture and flavor. The crunch of a cookie base beneath a fluffy cheesecake center is more than just dessert—it’s nostalgia, innovation, and joy layered into every bite.

🍴 Ingredients

Crust:

  • 15 crunchy chocolate chip cookies, finely crushed
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 crunchy chocolate chip cookies, crushed

Garnish:

  • Extra creamy Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
  • Mini chocolate chip cookies, for topping

🧁 Equipment:

  • Muffin tin (12-count)
  • Paper cupcake liners
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Mixing bowls

🥄 Method

Step 1: Prepare the Muffin Tin

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • Line a standard muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Crust

  • In a bowl, combine 15 crushed chocolate chip cookies with the melted butter.
  • Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cupcake liner and press down firmly to form the crust base.
  • Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool while preparing the filling.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  • Add in the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract and beat again until fully combined.
  • Add the egg and mix on low speed just until incorporated (avoid overmixing).
  • Gently fold in the crushed cookies.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  • Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
  • Tap the tin gently to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the centers are just set (they might jiggle slightly but should not look wet).
  • Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  • Top each cheesecake with a generous swirl of Cool Whip.
  • Garnish with a mini chocolate chip cookie right on top.
  • Optional: drizzle with chocolate syrup or sprinkle with mini chips for extra flair.

💡 Formation & Presentation

These mini cheesecakes can be served directly in their liners or carefully removed for a more elegant display on a dessert platter. Serve chilled for best texture, and add garnish just before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.

For events, consider:

  • Individual dessert cups for layered visual appeal
  • Mini mason jars for a rustic-chic vibe
  • Drizzling caramel or ganache over the top for a gourmet touch
