Ingredients
16 ounces sugar cookie dough use premade cookie dough, a boxed mix or your favorite cookie dough
8 ounces cream cheese softened
2 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup fruit strawberries, blueberries raspberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges – diced

Instructions
For The Cookie Dough
Preheat the oven to 350 fahrenheit. Lightly oil a mini muffin tin.
Mix the cookie dough according to the box directions or recipe, or remove from package.
Scoop and roll cookie dough into 1 tablespoon dough balls. Place each cookie dough ball into a spot in the mini muffin tin.
Press a dent in the center of each ball of dough creating little round holes with a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon or the end of a rolling pin.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly brown and cooked through. The amount of baking time can vary depending on the dough, so watch carefully. Again press a dent into each cookie cup, this time while they are warm so you have enough room for the filling.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for several minutes. Take cookie cups out of pan and finish cooling on a wire rack.
For The Cheesecake Filling
Place the cream cheese in a large bowl mixing bowl. Whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla and salt then mix again. Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time, fully mixing it into the cream cheese each time.
Once the cookie cups are cooled completely fill them with the cream cheese mixture. You can use a frosting piping bag, a zip-top bag with the corner cut off, or spoon the filling into the center of each cup.
Slice the fruit into small pieces. Decorate the tops of the cookie cups with the fruit. Serve immediately and enjoy!
