Noting Beats Cheesecake Cupcakes!

Here is a fun recipe that I like to make around the holidays when there are lots of children around. (children are a good excuse anyway!)



INGREDIENTS
16 vanilla wafer cookies
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin
pans with cupcake papers.
Place one wafer cookie in the bottom of each cupcake
paper. In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese and
sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Pour over
wafers in cupcake papers.
Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes, until golden and set.
Remove from oven and let set until cool, refrigerate for 1 hour before serving

These are fantastic and go over really well. Get creative by trying different toppings like shaved chocolate, maraschino cherries or a slice of banana!

ENJOY!
