How to Make Cherry Almond Cheesecake Cookie Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  3. Place 1 (1-ounce) round of pre-made sugar cookie dough into each lined cup.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Carefully remove the partially baked cookie cups from the oven.
  7. Pour 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over each cookie crust.
  8. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookie cups cool completely in the muffin tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
  10. Top each cookie cup with 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of blanched, slivered almonds.
  11. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to fully set and the flavors to meld.
  12. Garnish with chocolate curls (optional) before serving.
