Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (14 ounce) box gingersnap cookies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and light. Add sugar, eggs, lemon extract, and vanilla extract gradually.
  • Puree gingersnaps in a food processor into fine crumbs. Drop a heaping 1/2 teaspoon crumbs into each muffin cup; add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 11 minutes. Let cool in the pan until set, about 10 minutes. Chill before serving, about 1 hour.
