Ingredients

¾ cup refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
2 tablespoons sour cream (room temperature)
⅓ cup brown sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners or place 12 silicone cups onto a cookie sheet.
Press 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into the bottom of each muffin liner. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool as you prepare the cheesecake filling.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, and brown sugar for 2 minutes until smooth and well-combined. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, along with the vanilla extract. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto each cookie crust.
Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.

Notes

Serving Tips:

Serve the Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecakes chilled, straight from the refrigerator for the best texture and flavor.
Garnish with extra mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup to make them even more decadent.
For a fun touch, serve with whipped cream or fresh berries on the side for added freshness.

Storage Tips:

Store any leftover mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To keep the crust and filling fresh, ensure they are properly covered and not exposed to air.
These cheesecakes can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Wrap each cheesecake individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
