Ingredients
- 1 tube or batch chocolate chip cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Nonstick spray or parchment paper
- Muffin tin or rolling pin (for shaping shells)
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping or whipped heavy cream
- Edible Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- Optional Toppings: chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, crushed nuts, whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten cookie dough into 3–4 inch circles on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
- Immediately drape warm cookies over a greased rolling pin or inverted muffin tin to form taco shapes. Let cool completely.
- For the filling, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping or whipped cream.
- For edible cookie dough, mix heat-treated flour, brown sugar, softened butter, vanilla, and milk until combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Once cookie shells are cool, fill each with cheesecake mixture.
- Top with scoops of edible cookie dough and optional toppings.
Notes
- Use sugar cookie or snickerdoodle dough for variation.
- Stir cocoa powder into cheesecake filling for a chocolate twist.
- Shape shells quickly while warm; reheat briefly if needed to soften.
- Unfilled cookie shells can be stored for 3 days in an airtight container.
- Best enjoyed the same day after assembly—do not freeze assembled tacos.
