Steps to Make Mini Cookie Dough Cheesecakes

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and stir until well combined. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
• Take about a tablespoon of the cookie dough mixture and press it into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust. Make sure it is evenly spread across the bottom.
• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and the egg. Mix until everything is well combined and there are no lumps.
• Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cookie dough crusts in each muffin cup. Fill until about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
• Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
• Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, top with extra mini chocolate chips and any leftover cookie dough if desired.
