Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) package sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz softened cream cheese 1 block
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup key lime juice regular lime juice is ok too
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- whipped cream, lime zest, and lime wedges optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini (24 cup) muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
- Grab your sugar cookie dough and slice into 24 equal squares (just follow the perforated lines) then drop one square of cookie dough into each muffin tin cavity.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool fully. The cookies will deflate on their own and leave a perfect dimple for filling!
- In a large mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese, condensed milk, key lime juice and vanilla extract. Mix until you get a smooth filling.
- Transfer the filling to a Ziploc bag, snip off one end, then evenly fill the cookie cups.
- Optionally top each one with a little whipped cream, lime zest and wedge of lime before serving.
- *If you want a thicker, firmer filling, chill the assembled cookie cups for at least 2 hours before serving.
