Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cheesecake Bites:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Sugar Cookie Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • (Optional) White or blue food coloring for snowflake effect
  • (Optional) Edible glitter or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
  6. Let the cheesecakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  7. While the cheesecakes chill, prepare the sugar cookie dough. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  8. Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.
  9. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
  10. If desired, divide the dough and add a drop of food coloring to one portion. Knead gently until the color is uniform.
  11. Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  12. Cut out small snowflake shapes using a cookie cutter that is slightly larger than your mini cheesecakes.
  13. Place the snowflake cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  14. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
  15. Once the cheesecakes and cookies are fully cooled, top each cheesecake bite with a snowflake sugar cookie.
  16. Decorate with edible glitter or sprinkles if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for best results.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake batter.
  • Chill the cheesecake bites thoroughly before topping to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Store any leftover treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
