Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes

(Courtesy of Mr Food)

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (18 oz.) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

Slice cookie dough into 24 slices.  Roll each slice into a ball and place in prepared muffin tin.  Press down in center of each, making a deep well.  Bake 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and "crusts" are light brown.

Remove from oven and press down in center of each with a spoon, making an indentation.  Let stand 5 minutes then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

In a small bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.  Spoon 1 tsp. cream cheese mixture into each cup.  Dust tops with cocoa.  Serve immediately or cover and keep chilled until ready to serve.
