Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two muffin pans. No liners needed!

2. Put cookie mix in a medium pan, cut in butter and cream cheese until crumbly. You can use a pastry blender or fork. Reserve 1 cup for the topping. Press in two tablespoons of mixture into each pan. (The original recipe says it makes 24, mine made 18, but I definitely could have used less cookie base in each pan.)

3. In small bowl, smooth the cream cheese, then add the remaining ingredients, then beat until smooth. Place a nice spoonful into each cup. Then sprinkle some of the cookie mixture on top.

4. Bake 18-20 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cool completely in pan, then pop them out and enjoy!
