preview for Mini Pillsbury Cookie Cheesecakes Are One-Bite Halloween Wonders

Celebrate Halloween with these adorable and delicious pumpkin cookie cheesecakes! Combining the rich creaminess of cheesecake with the sweet buttery taste of Pillsbury sugar cookies, this not-so-scary recipe is perfect for parties, gatherings, or as a special dessert for the family. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy, they’re a sweet way to embrace spooky season.

An important step in ensuring a cheesecake has that classic silky texture is to first allow them to cool at room temperature, then chill completely in the fridge. We want to let them come down to temperature outside of the refrigerator at first so that they can cook slightly more with that residual heat. This is because we remove the cheesecake from the oven once the edges are just set, to avoid developing a crust on the outside. So the residual heat finalizes the cooking of the inside of the cheesecake without over-baking the edges, which, coupled with setting them in the fridge after, leaves your cheesecakes with the perfect texture!
