Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Eggnog Cheesecake Cookie Cups
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 2 muffin tins to prevent sticking.
- Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt until well combined.
- Cream together softened unsalted butter, fancy molasses, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the room-temperature egg and blend until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Scoop the dough evenly into the prepared muffin tins and flatten it slightly.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until mostly set but still soft in the center.
- Immediately press lightly in the middle of each cookie to create wells for the cheesecake filling.
- Cool the cookie cups in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
- For the filling, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and set aside.
- Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate eggnog along with ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pipe or scoop the cheesecake filling into each cooled cookie cup generously filling the wells.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
