Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cookie butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of cupcake liners in a muffin tin.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
