In reply to Danielle. Hi Danielle! I think it could potentially work, but they are going to be harder to bake all the way through and personally I don't think they are quite as good when they are that large. :(

Can you use a regular sized muffin/cupcake pan? I’m not sure if I can find my mini pan. Thank you!

In reply to Sam.

I made these for the fourth of July and they were gone before people we done eating the cookout food! They don’t taste strongly like cheesecake, but I’m not crazy about cheesecake so I didn’t mind and my Husband who loves cheesecake still raved about them. He requested I make them again today! But this time just for us 😉

Can I freeze the cookie bases 1-2 weeks ahead of time then thaw and prepare them?

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! I am not sure how it would work. It's likely not going to be very sturdy. It could potentially work in a tart pan, but I think you'd be better off with the crust I use in my strawberry tart. :)

Would I be able to use this dough as a pie crust for a strawberry cream pie?

In reply to Liz. Hi Liz! If that's what you like that can work. It likely won't taste as good though.

Can I use the cream cheese filling in the big tub ( no bake cheesecake) instead of making my own?

In reply to Sarah Pourhosseini. Hi Sarah! I think the day before would work fine. The cookies may soften a bit, but being in the refrigerator the whole time it should be ok. I would add the fruit the day of though. :)

Can I fill the cookie cups with the cheesecake filling a day ahead (and just do the fruit day of) or should I refrigerate the cheesecake filling separately until day of?

In reply to Deb. Hi Deb! I do have a lemon curd filling you could use. :)

Hi! I made these and they are delicious!! Is there a lemon curd recipe that would work well as a filling instead of the cheesecake?

In reply to Jody. Hi Jody! I honestly can't say how it will turn out. I've never tried it. Let me know how it goes if you do. :)

I want to make these cute little cups. I heard that substituting some cream cheese for some butter will work? I was thinking to sub in 1/2 cup cream cheese for 1/2 cup butter. Do u think that will work here?

In reply to April Patterson. Hi April! The only things that I know will work here are heavy cream, whipping cream, or double cream. You need to be able to whip it to get the right texture. :)

In reply to Lori. Hi Lori! We haven't tried it, but it should work. The final flavor and texture might be a little different though

Hi Sam,
These little bites are outstanding. I work with 2 teachers at my school who are in love with these treats. I make one regular, and one gluten free. I was wondering if I can substitute light brown sugar for regular sugar in the dough. I just ran out of
regular, and I want to make 2 batches tonight.
Thank you!!

In reply to DustyBuns. The video should be directly above the recipe. If it's not showing, make sure that you don't have an ad blocker enabled. :)

Hi Sam. These look yummy and I can’t wait to try them. I was trying to watch the video but when I clicked on the video tab, it took me straight to the recipe. Am I missing something?

In reply to Rumana. Hi Rumana! Yes you can make the cookie cups a day ahead of time and they will be just fine.

Hi Sam, thank you so much for sharing the recipe. They sure look yummy. A question would it still be fresh and tasty if I was to make the cookie cups the day before serving?
