Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these cookie bites gluten-free? Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, and you can enjoy these treats without worry. Just make sure to check that all other ingredients are gluten-free, especially the baking powder if you choose to use any.

What can I do if I don't have chocolate chips? If you find yourself without chocolate chips, you can chop up a chocolate bar or use any other type of chocolate you have on hand. Alternatively, consider adding nuts or dried fruit to the cheesecake filling for a different flavor profile.

Tips for the Best Results

For the richest flavor, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling without lumps. Also, avoid overmixing to maintain the lightness of the filling.

When scooping your cookie dough, use a cookie scoop for uniformity. This will help your cookie bites bake evenly and look professional. If you prefer a softer cookie base, take them out of the oven just as they set, allowing them to continue cooking slightly as they cool.
