Ingredients

  • 1 batch gingerbread cookie dough (homemade or one 30 oz package of Pillsbury Gingerbread Cookie Dough)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. Roll 2 teaspoons of gingerbread dough into balls and place them in each liner.
  3. Using a floured teaspoon or the end of a mini rolling pin, press an indentation into the center of each dough ball to create a well.
  4. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy.
  5. Transfer filling into a piping bag and pipe about 1 teaspoon of filling into each dough well.
  6. Bake for 9 minutes, or until the cookie portion is set and a toothpick inserted comes out nearly clean.
  7. Cool completely in the pan before removing and serving.

Notes

  • Use firm dough to prevent filling from sinking too much—add a bit of flour if needed.
  • Top with cinnamon sugar or a drizzle of white chocolate once cooled.
  • Let bites come to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
  • Freeze for up to 1 month and thaw in the fridge overnight.
  • Use a piping bag for neat, uniform filling in each cup.
