Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making these Cookie Butter Cheesecake Cups! First, I start by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. I stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Then, I place cupcake liners in my muffin tin and press about a tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each liner. Once they are all set, I pop them in the fridge to firm up while I prepare the filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
