Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Tart

I’d like to say, I consoled myself with some of these chocolate chip cheesecake tarts, but I made them more for Naomi, who did console herself with them as she tried to digest through some family matters.

To keep things easy, I started with ready-made cookie dough that was already pre-cut. I pressed it into the wells of a mini muffin pan for the crust, then I filled it with tiny slices of caramel nougat candy and cheesecake. According to her, they were perfect.

And since she is the resident baker here, I’ll take her word for it.
