Cream Cheese Cookie Cups

Ingredients:

- pre made cookie dough (we used our monster cookie recipe, but chocolate chip or any other dough would work)

- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

With floured hands, press about 1 tablespoon of dough onto the bottom and up the sides of each miniature muffin cup. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, reshape the puffed cookie cups. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

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