Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Mini chocolate chips and sprinkles, as desired
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until you form a dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each), flatten them, and shape them over upside-down cups on your baking sheet to create taco shells. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden. Once cooled, carefully lift them off and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar, whipped topping, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add vanilla and milk while mixing. Slowly incorporate flour and mini chocolate chips until combined.
- Fill each taco shell with cheesecake filling, followed by a spoonful of cookie dough.
- Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles for decoration.
Notes
For a firmer shell, refrigerate the taco shells before filling. Experiment with flavors in the cheesecake filling, such as adding peanut butter.
