Cream Cheese Cookie Cups

(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1 tube (18 oz.) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/4 c. confectioners' sugar

Directions:
Cut cookie dough in half (save 1 portion for another use).  With floured hands, press about 1 Tbsp. of the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of 12 ungreased miniature muffin cups.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, reshape the puffed cookie cups.  Cook for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth.  Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar.  Spoon into cookie cups.  Store in the refrigerator.
