The Best Christmas Cookie Recipe
When I promised on the previous post with Christmas Maraschino Cherry Shortbread Cookies a real little series of X-mas cookies, I really meant that . When it comes to Christmas cookies, I have no lack of inspiration, but this time, I decided to make a little experiment.
Some time ago, I found a really unusual but beautiful recipe. Well, these aren’t really classic cookies, they are more like cookie cups. The unusual thing is that the cookie dough for the cookies is not put inside a baking pan, but from the outside and is baked the other way around. Such cups are filled up to the half with strawberry jam and the other half is filled with a lair of no bake cheesecake.
Easy Strawberry Jam Cheesecake Cookies
It sounds and looks really tasty, and on the other hand, it’s really a good choice for a Christmas treat. Just think of the beautiful white layer of cheesecake decorated with red and green. A really original solution for your Christmas cookies.
My pick for this decoration were red and green funfetti in various sizes and in order to make my Strawberry Jam Cheesecake Cookies even more interesting, I decided to put the funfetti on the layer of cheesecake itself. What I got in the end really made me super happy! The beautiful cookie cups which not only go together perfectly with Christmas, but could also be a great choice for Easter and also any party or a kid’s birthday.
As for the taste, things were even better! Anyone who loves strawberry jam will be delighted with the beautiful taste which it offers in combination with decadent cheesecake layer. Al in all, this was a very interesting and a tasty experiment. Try it and enjoy it, until the next cookies adventure!

When you say “heavy cream”, is it 40% or 35% fat?
Hi Hope, it won’t make much different in this recipe, use what ever you have on hand.
